The Libertines perform surprise show


(Sunday May 17, 2009 09:25 AM)

The Libertines reunited for a surprise gig in the early hours of Saturday, playing their first concert since they split five years ago.

Pete Doherty and his current group Babyshambles played a late-night show in east London on Friday night.

And Doherty shocked fans by welcoming former bandmates Carl Barat and Gary Powell on stage for a five-song set, their first performance together since the cult band parted ways in 2004.

The Libertines split after Doherty was booted out following a series of bust-ups with Barat over the troubled star's drug use.
