Never one to stay out of the headlines, Pete Doherty flouted the smoking ban during an intimate sol set in London last night.

The Babyshambles man treated those packed into Rhythm Factory in East London to a sprawling 27 song set featuring a mix of Babyshambles and Libertines songs.

Pete arrived onstage shortly before midnight and launched into a version of ‘Fuck Forever’ – but just three songs later his nicotine addiction got the better of him as he lit up a cigarette during ‘Carry On Up The Morning.’

Pete and the rest of his Babyshambles will be performing again at the venue tonight and tomorrow night (December 17/18).

Last night’s full set list, according to the NME, was as follows:

Fuck Forever
Pay The Lay
Don't Look Back Into The Sun
Carry On Up The Morning
The Delaney
Death On The Stairs
UnBiloTitled
Never Never
La Belle Et La Bette
Tell The King
You're My Waterloo
For Lovers
What A Waster
Can't Stand Me Now
Lady Don't You Fall Backwards
Bollywood To Battersea
Time For Heroes
Dilly Boys
The Blinding
Bucket Shop
Through The Looking Glass
Up The Bracket
Music When The Lights Go Out
I Wish
You Talk
What Katy Did Next

  • How many people did Pete kill or harm in any way? None, so what’s the problem.
