Pete Doherty wants to support Oasis on their 2025 reunion tour.
The Libertines' frontman has discussed the Britpop band's forthcoming reunion shoes and has joked that he's willing to open for Noel and Liam Gallagher on just two conditions.
He appealed to the brothers via a new interview with the iPaper: "If Noel or Liam are reading this: maybe a 10-minute acoustic slot? Even before the doors open?”
Doherty also admitted that his in-laws are fans of the Manchester band and assume that he'll be able to get tickets, which has led to him pretending he may be supporting them just to buy him time.
The What Became Of The Likely Lads singer went on: "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 as a bargaining chip. “I won’t even take a fee!”
