Doherty performed at the Parisian venue, with support from his Libertines bandmate Carl Barat.
Pete Doherty played a gig at Le Bataclan, where he led the crowd in a rendition of the French National Anthem.
The Libertines frontman helped to reopen the venue just over year after the horrific terrorist attacks, which saw 89 people killed during an Eages Of Death Metal gig.
Joined by bandmate Carl Barat, Doherty sang a rendition of the national anthem, La Marseillaise, accompanied by a violinist.

The venue was officially opened by Sting last weekend, who held a one minute silence during his gig.
