The Libertines have updated fans on the status of Pete Doherty‘s health, and have confirmed that tonight’s (February 25) show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town will go ahead.The band were forced to pull out of their Bristol date yesterday, after the co-frontman “developed a high fever and shortness of breath”.A doctor was called to his aide, and although he tested negative for COVID-19, he was diagnosed with an unspecified “respiratory infection which [required] immediate treatment”.

He was advised not to take part in last night’s show “under any circumstances”, leading to its cancellation.Though The Libertines are yet to advise Bristol fans on when (or if) their gig will be rescheduled, they posted on Instagram earlier today that Doherty’s treatment has thus far been successful, and that he “has been allowed to travel to London today and tonight’s show will therefore go ahead”.A post shared by The Libertines (@thelibertines)“Our sincere apologies go to everyone who had tickets for Bristol, especially after all the disruption already caused by the pandemic,” they wrote. “We want to thank our fans for being so understanding and all the good wishes Peter has received.”The Libertines are currently wrapping up their rescheduled ‘Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour’, with London slated as the last stop.

They’ll perform a second gig at the O2 Forum Kentish Tow tomorrow night (February 27), with limited tickets for both shows available via Ticketmaster.Earlier this month, Doherty revealed that he’s planning to sign a prisoner he met at a Glasgow jail to his record label, Strap Originals.
