Pete Doherty to play support slot solo for The Streets

Pete Doherty will be supporting The Streets tonight, even though his band Babyshambles had to pull out because of a bereavement in drummer Adam Ficek's family. Apparently Doherty doesn't want to disappoint his fans, which is a first. In a statement Doherty told reporters: "After a lot of consideration I have decided that I don't want to let the fans down and so will go ahead with the show on my own."
