Pete Doherty missed a scheduled festival appearance with Babyshambles at the weekend because he missed his flight.

Babyshambles members Mik Whitnall, Drew McConnell and Adam Ficek all made it to FM4 Frequency in Salzburg after travelling separately from the singer.

"Drew, Mik and myself can only apologise to those who came to see us today,” Ficek said in a statement.

“Peter has missed the flight, we are in Salzburg, with no Peter. We will head to the festival and apologise on stage.”

Unlike previous concerts where Doherty has failed to show, the band did not perform without the singer.
