Am going to see the documentary tmrw. Wives are not neutral observers so it'll be interesting to see if she does a hagiography or something more honest and nuanced.

I’m intrigued to hear that his wife started filming the footage over ten years ago, before they became a couple and when he was in active addiction. So she was one of his hangers-on and he eventually deigned to be in a relationship with her? That does not sound like the basis of a happy healthy relationship.

Sounds similar to Russel Brand and his wife. Started as a casual thing when they were all off their faces, then when the man gets clean and wants a wife he chooses from the groupie ex’s.

Another one waiting around for the guy to decide she was it.

OMG I'm annoyed about Louis with his celebrity interviews now. I actually don't want to see them together for some reason I know I'll end up getting annoyed!
Same. Why has he stopped doing proper documentaries and instead interviewing lame celebrities like Rita Ora?! Also having read his autobiography he comes across as extremely self absorbed.

He also was licking Saville hole until it all came out. Why would you want to be mates with that weirdo? Unless you were hoping he could do something for you - was probably hoping Jimmy would put a word in for a knighthood.

Do please give us a critique. Don't worry about spoilers, it's not like we are going to have any big surprises I don't think! : )

Does she come from money?
I always assumed that for some reason. If she's able to knock about for 10 plus years filming him she obviously didn't require a full time job...

She plays keyboard for his band The Puta Madres apparently since 2016

All the more reason to assume she's loaded. I'm a bit of an enthusiast and I swear I've never even heard their "Spanish mother people" band...I doubt the band brings in much dough. They live in a big house. I could be wrong...but he loves posh birds.I can imagine it started when he needed them to pay for his gear. There would have been queues of them. Sad but true.
It's weird that he never dated any working class women to any public degree, despite his fetishising of East London gangsters and surrounding culture. This is just my opinion though, and I'm happy to be challenged if I'm wrong.

Your opinion nails it, i saw them play in Margate a few years ago, until the Albion Rooms opened they lived in Margate, they were always around with their dogs, i think her father is a french film producer or something like that

This is a bit grim but I feel I should share it...When I was young I got latched onto by a couple of guys (one of which was 12 yrs older) who claimed to be 'musicians', They thought they were the living embodiment of rock and roll for some reason. Because they were from suburbia but drank in Camden? I was naive, just escaped a physically abusive relationship, and paid for loads of things for them out of my meagre wages, assuming they would pay me back.
What they actually did was introduce me to heroin and crack ( I had never wished to do that before and was happy with a bit of sniff and a drink occasionally) and encourage me to buy it for them, and have semi-consensual relations with me when I was fecked.
It seems like a low rent version of what Pete and his pals were upto a lot of the time...
What is wrong with some men? It really upsets me the likes of Pete have to do so much wrong before they can finally claim they want 'redemption' or whatever. When men hurt people they scar them and a lot of them just don't really care.

I honestly keep waiting for a full-on UK music equivalent of Me Too but it just never fully materialises, it's so depressing. I'm fairly sure the majority of women who hung around bands (*of a certain age*, like myself) would have unending tales of grim experiences where they were taken advantage of, but it just never seems to take off when something is exposed.

He's always been a bit weird with class. He's adamant he's working class however he's an army cat. I think he doesn't like that background and wishes he was born on a sink estate or something.

They only claim they want redemption as in their ducked up narcissistic little minds, it'll cancel out all the nasty tit that they did.
