Pete Doherty: out of rehab and onto the stage

Babyshambles singer stuns locals in village pub

Pete Doherty has played his first gig since leaving rehab.

While Babyshambles are currently riding high at No 5 in the album charts with Shotter’s Nation, it was the low-key Sun Inn in Marlborough, Wiltshire, that drew Pete on Saturday night, leaving regulars and locals gobsmacked.

'It was a normal Saturday night until Pete rocked up,' says an onlooker.

'As soon as word got out, the place was packed and people were begging him to sing. It was a really great atmosphere.'

Pete, who left Wiltshire's Clouds clinic on Thursday, is currently staying in a nearby cottage to keep clear of London and his drug-addled past.

So Saturday night was full of legal pleasures.

'He was asking for pints of Guinness between tracks and kissed all the girls who asked for [a kiss],' a source tells The Sun.
