Pete Doherty Hospitalised

Pete Doherty was hospitalised in France on Thursday night.

A solo show in Nice was cancelled at the last minute after Doherty was admitted to hospital for unspecified treatment. According to reports, fans were not told of the cancellation until they had arrived at the venue, Nice's Theatre de Verdure.

The troubled singer has since been released from hospital, and fans are hopeful the incident won’t impact Babyshambles’ scheduled appearance at Carl Barat are booked to reform The Libertinesfor a slot at this summer’s Reading and Leeds festivals. Pete, with typical candour, recently described the much-anticipated reunion as “potentially a f**king disaster”.
