Babyshambles man set for series of solo shows

Pete Doherty is set to kick off a series of solo shows at the Bournemouth Opera House tomorrow night (September 24).

The show will be part of a tour that will see him return to the scene of his first reunion with former Libertines bandmate Carl Barat.

Pete Doherty and Carl Barat reunited at the Hackney Empire in April 2007 – the first time they had performed together since The Libertines split up.

Doherty will play a solo show at the London venue again on October 2.

He will also play shows in Manchester, Middlesborough and Coventry as part of the short tour.

Meanwhile, the former Libertines reunited at the Prince Of Wales pub in north London on September 17, where they played an acoustic set together for London Fashion Week.

Pete Doherty will play:

Bournemouth Opera House (September 24)
Middlesborough Town Hall (25)
Coventry Kasbah (26)
London Hackney Empire (2)
Manchester Ritz (October 3)

Is it just me or are Pete Doherty solo gigs and mini tours all I ever seem to read about. What the fuck is he doing these days anyway? Is he with The Libertines? Are they getting back together? Is he still with Babyshambles? Is there even a Pete Doherty solo album?And what is all this about him returning to the same spot he as he was in April 2007 with his old mate? Scraping the barrel for a story there I think. Do we really care any more? It just all seems as if its getting a bit old, worn out and tiresome.
