Pete Doherty played a gig for just 70 fans on Thursday night to apparently support a London pub threatened with closure.

The Babyshambles frontman performed a 13 song acoustic set at Kentish Town’s Torriano Pub, which is being threatened with demolition, according to the BBC.

As we reported on Thursday afternoon the gig was a last minute affair, with Doherty reportedly approaching the pub’s owners himself on the day to arrange the performance.

The singer-songwriter posed for pictures with fan, who paid £20 per ticket, after his performance.
