Pete Doherty 'Refused US Visa' For New York Gig

Pete Doherty was refused a visa to play a one-off gig in America, it’s been reported.

The Babyshambles singer was set to perform alongside Sean Lennon and Adam Green at Milk Studios in New York last week.

However, Doherty was denied entry by US custom officials at JFK airport. He was then asked to board a return flight to London.

Doherty has a string of drug convictions, but thought he would still be allowed into the US, according to The Sun.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Doherty will rejoin his former Libertines bandmates to play the Reading and Leeds festivals in August.
