PETE DOHERTY TO SUE FESTIVAL

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty is suing Sheffield’s Gatecrasher Summer Sound System Festival, after they repeatedly advertised him in the lineup without actually booking him.

The 28-year-old ex-Libertine released a statement dismissing their claims: “Pete’s supposed non-show was reported extensively in the media and, despite an admission from Gatecrasher that Pete was never confirmed to appear, they have so far refused to issue a public apology.”
