Pete Doherty's solo show at the Royal Albert Hall ended in chaos last week, after fans invaded the stage during the encore. The gig was rescheduled from April, of course, when Doherty was unable to play, you surely remember, on account of him being in prison. He closed the show, where he performed a number of Libertines and Babyshambles songs, with 'I Wish', after which he helped around a hundred fans up onto the stage with him. Security staff, not used to such anarchy in such a grand venue, seem to have been unsure how to handle the situation and some scuffles broke out, which apparently caused one girl to fall from the stage. Police were called but no arrests were made. One attendee told The Mirror: "It turned into a big riot".
