Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty's call of “stage invasion” was promptly answered last night as fans clambered around him during a performance in London.
Doherty was playing to a sold-out crowd at the Hackney Empire on the final night of his short UK solo tour.
Performing acoustically, the singer treated fans to a setlist which spanned his career in the Libertines and Babyshambles.
Fans, who had been joining Doherty on stage throughout the gig, almost overwhelmed security towards the end of the set when the singer invited them onstage.
But despite fans' best efforts, security were able to restrain the entire audience from breaking onto the stage.
One photographer told Gigwise that the photography pit was one of the “scariest I've ever been in.”
Last night's gig featured a special appearance from Doherty's friend, The General.

- sexy bastard

- i love pete and am seeing him tonight!!!! i love him soso much hes amazing

- I was at the show and it was absolutly terrible, as for the stage invasion well it says it all that he had to instruct his audience to do something which should be so spontanious. The worst cover versions i've ever heard he is like an embarassed busker in a suburban shopping centre. I would say its time to see that the emperor has no clothes ! or in the words of John Lydon " Ever get the feeling you've been cheated . . "

- ^^ ****ing idiot. Were you at the same show as me?
