PETE DOHERTY NOT PLAYING LONDON BENEFIT SHOW

The star will be performing in Manchester with Babyshambles instead...

PETE DOHERTY will not be playing the benefit show in aid of drug charity TMBUK this Thursday (September 23) as previously reported.

Doherty had pledged to support the charity, which supports the Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand where he was unsuccessfully treated for his drug addiction.

Incorrect listings had suggested that Pete would be appearing at this week’s show at new London club KoKo. He will be playing an already scheduled show with Babyshambles at Manchester Ritz.

He has, however, pledged to support the charity at a later date.

Appearing at KoKo will be Tim Arnold, The Dash, Little Vincentand Get-Go, with Freestylers DJing.
