American rock icon Patti Smith made a surprise confession at her gig at New York's Webster Hall on Monday night: she admitted that her secret love was her only Doctor, David Tennant!





Patti, who was celebrating her 68th birthday dedicated the song Distant Fingers to David, telling the audience, "I know I'm an older woman but I know so many things."





"Waiting for you, David Tennant," she added, "Because no-one plays Doctor Who like you. I would gladly face all those robots with your screwdriver."





The concert also featured a rare stage appearance by former REM frontman Michael Stipe who opened the show with a six-song set.
