    Pete Doherty Flouts The Smoking Ban

    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 ‘**** 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:

    **** 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

    Bucket Shop
    Through The Looking Glass
