Former Libertines bandmates Pete Doherty and Carl Barat thrilled fans as they took to the stage at a surprise reunion gig here.

Doherty was scheduled to perform at The Prince of Wales pub in Camden, North London on Sep 17 for fashion label Gio-Goi - a brand the rocker has modelled for in the past, reports contactmusic.com.

And revellers were stunned as Doherty was joined on stage by Barat to play some of their classic tracks, as well as a rendition of Oasis' 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.

This June, Barat hinted that he would like to reunite with Doherty - telling reporters he 'missed' the star.

The Libertines - hailed as the future of rock when they first found fame in 2002 - split acrimoniously in 2004 due to Doherty's drug addictions. He went on to form Babyshambles, with Barat fronting the Dirty Pretty Things.
