DOHERTY REUNITES WITH EX-LIBERTINES DRUMMER

British rocker PETE DOHERTY thrilled fans at a solo gig on Tuesday (25Aug09) by teaming up with former THE LIBERTINES drummer PAUL DUFOUR to perform some rare songs.
The singer was performing an intimate gig at a bar in London when Dufour appeared onstage unannounced.
Lucky fans of the band were left stunned when the pair proceeded to belt out more than a dozen songs - including several rare and unreleased tracks.
Dufour tells NME.com, "I went down there with my percussion and box and just pushed through the crowd, got on the stage and we played about 15 songs. Pete announced he was going to do one more song, but then when I turned up we did about 45 minutes extra.
"It was quite a surprise - we didn't talk about it before or anything! He was in a good mood, it was really good to see him. He played well. I was surprised at how many songs we remembered after all these years."
Dufour played drums with the first lineup of The Libertines but was replaced by Gary Powell before they had their big break in 2002.
