Har Mar To Replace Pete Doherty?

added 27 July 2004 at 12.04

Portly lothario Har Mar Superstar stepped into the shoes of the exiled Pete Doherty last night at club Infinity for an unlikely performance of ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’ as an honory Libertine. And you watch it online...

Last night Har Mar Superstar, friend to the stars and even bigger friend of womankind in general, and Charlatans singer Tim Burgess joined The Libertines on stage at Dirty Pretty Things at club Infinity for a storming rendition of ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’.

"I'm so glad i was there," Libertines fan Juliette Jackson explains. "It was like going to a Libs gig with lots of guests.. no Pete and no John, but Carl and Gary played with Antony Rossomando...

"Tim Burgess came out to sing 'Death On The Stairs', then Har Mar sang 'Dont Look Back Into The Sun' with the band. When he came on stage he was shouting "I'm a libertine now! I'm a libertine!" Legendary... f*cking amazing show, not one i will forget, if you weren't there, you missed out!"

One fan even captured the moment on video and by clicking here you can see exactly what went on.
