I imagine he's probably off Heroin but replaced it with food and alcohol.

And now they're married! I doesn't look like a last minute Vegas (in France) type deal either so well done them for keeping it all under wraps.

I’m actually so happy for him! Two years off the drugs is amazing. This new life in France must be working.

Everyone here gets married at their local Mayor's Office in a civil service although you can go for a church blessing afterwards if you wish. Its a much simpler occasion in France without all the massive hype, fairytale castles or lavish receptions for 200 people that you get in UK and I guess that simpler lifestyle suits Pete who has finally Grown Up at last. I wish them happiness :)

I always had strong mixed feelings about him. His music was by and large appealing at the time and he's a talented songwriter.
However his antics leave a rather sour taste. I've never met him myself, but was friends with Mark blanco (not best mates, but knew eat other from the pub and socialised in a group a few times etc) and that whole state of affairs was pretty horrendous.
I'll say more once I can curate my thoughts as it's been many years since thinking about it.
I'm pleased to see Pete looking his version of healthy, and his wedding looked cute. I do believe he's off the heroin which is a big achievement for such a long term user.

My fella met him a few times in the studio, and said he had a strange charisma about him and was also pretty humble and polite. He couldn't stop cadging fags off everyone and left loads of empty crack wrappers and a pipe there when he left....
The who blanco thing seems awful. I don't know if Doherty himself pushed the guy over the balcony, it's more lieky the headlock fella who confessed. But again the police were unwilling to take it further despite all the campaigning. The policeman in charge was disciplined and investigated by the ipcc. The evening it happened, Mark came to the pub and was indeed really excitable and agitated and it felt like he could have been annoying people, but nobody thought the poor guy would end up dead. He was really excited about this play he was doing...
Why anyone would want to be near Pete or his crew is a mystery back then, I guess it seemed rock and roll. I don't know what's rock and roll about being a middle class intelligent person who deliberately acts like rum.
Lots of people have drug problems and don't cause that much chaos. Though I know the tabloids followed the crap out of him which was another horrible tale of exploitation..

That’s interesting thanks for sharing. There’s so many wild truly awful rumours out there about Pete I suspect most been true from people who have told their stories of having been around him in the past. I like to believe that people can change. I’ve worked closely with families who have had drug addictions myself and seen the most horrific things but it is possible for people to turn a corner and become good people.

Yes very much so @MrsLucas. I know many who've had drug and addiction issues. I'm pleased he looks better. People mocking him being large and grey etc, missing the point. The guy was underweight and unwell from class As for 20 plus years.. Now he looks like a man in his 40s who likes a wee drink and a nice meal. His girl looks really nice too. Yeah, it's a funny one as I was on that scene when I was younger but I'm his age.. but glad that's all over!

I can’t imagine he has anything new to share. He would have sold it for drugs.

Yeah I doubt his army kid childhood is that interesting and then everything since is very well documented.
