Pete Doherty plays gig at fan's wake

Babyshambles star sings for Daniel Squires after his tragic death

Pete Doherty met Daniel Squires at one of his gigs

Pete Doherty surprised mourners at a teenager's wake on Monday when he got up to perform a moving set.

The Babyshambles star wanted to pay tribute to 16-year-old Daniel Squires, who died from bone cancer on 4 July. Pete, 29, had met the Tyneside fan at a gig.

He got up with one of Daniel’s friends for the impromptu performance at the Golden Lion pub in South Shields.

‘He was here for around an hour and a half,’ pub manager Lynette Gale tells the Daily Mirror.

‘He said that he wanted to come up to pay tribute. It was a lovely gesture and made it all special.’
