Three of the four members of The Libertines reunited for a show at London's Rhythm Factory in the early hours of yesterday morning.

According to NME, Pete Doherty, Carl Barat and Gary Powell played a tribute set to late fellow musician Johnny Sedassy - their first show since splitting in 2004.

The group took to the stage just after 2am, with Doherty saying, "Here's a musical interlude from a little known band who played their first ever gig here," reports Celeb XS.

The Libertines' seven-song setlist included debut single 'What A Waster', 'Can't Stand Me Now' and 'Time For Heroes'.

Last month, guitarist Anthony Rossomando said that a reunion will not happen in the near future.
