Pete Doherty recently played a gig at a young female fan's house for £100, and has since been inundated with requests to play similar shows.
According to The Sun, the Babyshambles singer played a selection of his biggest hits while partygoers joked about when he was going to make dogs out of balloons.
The newspaper quotes a source as saying: “The birthday girl's dad told him she was a huge fan and that he'd give him £100 to perform at her party. Pete was flattered and happy to oblige.
“Some partygoers asked him when he was going to make dogs out of balloons. He took it in good humour. It made her [the fan's] day.”
Apparently Doherty's booking agent has been inundated with over 500 requests for a similar performance since.
