“He knows this is make or break. He’s cancelled gigs in the past but he’s got to be on top form for this one.”
The Who, Bob Dylan, Crowded House, Nick Cave and Morrissey are among previous acts to have taken to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall.
Babyshambles bandmate Drew McConnell recently insisted that the group is not worried about Doherty's solo career.
