Pete Doherty's Raucous London Show Branded 'Dull' By Fans
Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty's solo show in London last night, which ended with a stage invasion, has been called “dull” by fans.
Doherty was joined by closed friends and special guests as he performed a string of Babyshambles and Libertines songs at the Hackney Empire.
But the night was marred when the singer called for a “stage invasion”, prompting hundreds of fans to attempt to breakthrough security.
Gigwise has been contacted by a number of fans who have criticised both the performance and organisation at last night's gig, which was the last date on Doherty's solo tour.
Minichman called the show “absolutely terrible”, adding: “As for the stage invasion, well it says it all that he had to instruct his audience to do something which should be so spontaneous. “
He also said he had felt “cheated” by Doherty's performance, which he said featured some of “the worst cover versions I've ever heard, he is like an embarrassed busker in a suburban shopping centre.”
Another fan, Hebegebe said: “Hero worship is a dangerous thing especially when your idols a prick.”
A number of fans have hit back at the negative comments, however, with some asking whether they were even at the same show.
