Pete Doherty

Is the book worth a read? I’m fascinated by Moss, Winehouse etc snd he’s in both their orbits.
I read an interview with him in the guardian and he commented he was clean but drinking still. He plays the occasional dj or live set and has rum and coke - of the powdery variety. Made me chuckle. (I know drugs aren’t big or clever).
I just can’t help like him no matter how big a waster he is.

And what a bleeping waster. He pissed it up the wall

Not much talent to piss up the wall.

I’m reading the book at the moment. Its quite a read. If you are wanting an insight into his relationship with kate moss, friendship with amy, peaches geldof etc then its all in there. Its obviously pretty drug heavy and covers a lot of stuff that was reported in the press. I was a huge libertines fan growing up, met Pete outside a venue and his manager got us into the gig through the back door as it was over 18s and we were 16 at the time. Nothing seedy we were just desperate to get in! Ive met the others throughout the years and all been nothing but nice.

Well, apparently his new wife is now pregnant (not sure how true this is: apparently announced at a gig)

Pete invited me onto his tourbus when I was 15 and he was well aware of my age, I proudly told him I was ‘doing my GCSEs next week’ ….

His reply to my GCSE a comment was ‘who needs GCSES when you can marry a rockstar’ I was slightly scared and asked if my friends could come onto the tourbus too

Did anyone see Peter on the last leg tonight?

sensibility · Feb 25, 2023

Yeah, I thought he looked nervous during the programme. I found him endearing. His wee hands were shaking during the EastEnders sketch but the song he did with Josh was good and its amazing he was able to sing Dirty Old Town in Ukrainian.

It brilliant to see him do so well and appear on live tv and it was nice to see the cast (Aisling Bea etc) clearly supporting him, I love the guy.

Katia De Vidas is the best thing thats ever happened to him.

Just found this thread during an I can't sleep scroll and the difference in the views of him from the 1st couple of pages a few years ago to this page is wild

MrsLucas · Feb 25, 2023

My views on him are still the same he’s had a terrible past fuelled of addiction but I love to see people change and to beat the addiction to heroin is extremely hard one many never manage.

vanderlyle · Apr 19, 2023

Well… Pete’s been doing a solo tour this week. Saw him, and he looks like he’s off the drugs and drink (obvs I don’t know if he actually is)… his show was great, he was on good form… and he appeared to be drinking water on stage…

This guy is repugnant. Smoking over his newborn.

kittymeowlondon · Sep 17, 2023

have I already shared the story of how astile goes by arthur now? perhaps has done for a long while

Rockin' Robin · Sep 17, 2023

He has really aged over the last few years, he looks like an old man.

I think it’s more what he’s wearing that makes him look like an old man. He does look super bloated and like he’s ready to keel over from heart or liver disease.

Why has his son changed his name to that of an old man?

That "look" is very French! Actually I rather thought he'd be wearing wellies instead of loafers with his shorts which is also very en vogue around these parts.

I think I read somewhere that he's trying to give up the ciggies too but has become addicted to cheese instead of all his Other Chemical dependencies

maytoseptember · Sep 18, 2023

My god he looks horrific.

And I don’t buy the wink-wink “I’ve swapped heroin for cheese” narrative. He looks very unwell. Which is hardly surprising given the way he’s abused his body.
