Germany: Organisers at the on3 music festival have removed Peter Doherty from the stage mid-song after he used 'Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles' in a set. He kept singing, ignoring the jeers of the crowd, until he was physically removed.
The opening verse from the Song of Germany isn't banned but is not generally used due to its association with Hitler and his Nazi regime. A public radio station was broadcasting live when Doherty's faux pas occurred.
Doherty is no stranger to controversy having used 'Arbeit macht frei' - a slogan taken from the gates of a concentration camps run by the Nazis - as a song title. He has a history of drug use and has been jailed in the past.

Wish they'd keep him in Jail !!
