Pete Doherty offers to support Oasis just for “travel expenses” and tickets for his in-laws

Pete Doherty has offered to support Oasis for free in a bid to try and secure some tickets for his in-laws.The Libertines and Babyshambles frontman discussed the upcoming reunion shows of the iconic Britpop band during a new interview with i Paper, and said that he is willing to put their long-running feud to one side if it means he can bag some tickets for family members.While discussing his upcoming solo album with the outlet, Doherty also shared his experience of the ticketing debacle that came when Liam and Noel Gallagher announced their reunion last summer.According to the singer-songwriter, his in-laws are fans of the group but, like countless others, found themselves unable to secure tickets due to the extensive demand.

Now, in a last-minute plea to get admission for them, Doherty has said he wants to take part in the shows.“If Noel or Liam are reading this: maybe a 10-minute acoustic slot?” he quipped. “Even before the doors open?”He continued: “Because I’m famous and in a band, [my family] all presume I can get tickets… I said, to hold [them] at bay: ‘Oh, I might have a support slot at one of the gigs.’ Which, of course, isn’t true.

But that’s bought me some time…”“I’ll only charge travel expenses,” he added, trying to make the offer more tempting for the Gallaghers. “I won’t even take a fee!”While neither Liam nor Noel Gallagher have yet to publicly address Doherty’s PSA, it doesn’t seem likely that the Libertines’ frontman will be able to secure a slot.

Not only have the Britpop band already announced that support will be coming from Cast and The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft, but the plea also comes following a long-running feud between the two bands.Two decades ago, Liam Gallagher famously slammed Doherty –.
