Pete checked himself into rehab - June 9, 2020
Pete Doherty has reportedly checked himself into drug rehabilitation clinic in Portugal. The troubled rocker - who was detained in Barcelona airport last week for allegedly taking heroin during a flight - has reportedly flown out to a detox clinic in a renewed attempt to quit his addiction. According to NME.com, the Babyshambles frontman is planning to remain in the clinic for several weeks, where he will be fitted with a "opiate suppressing implant".

The 27-year-old singer, who previously dated Kate Moss, has attempted to unsuccessfully kick his drug habit several times in the past but is reportedly determined to stick it out this time. A source told NME.com: "The decision to undergo rehab was Doherty’s own, and he organized and funded the trip without any outside pressure."

Pete’s Junkie Trip - June 2, 2020
Pete Doherty has been banned from flying Easyjet (we guess he was saving his money for other things) after a trip to Barcelona on the airline. The Babyshambles singer was seen staggering out of the aeroplane toilets with a tourniquet around his arm just fifteen minutes after the flight took off. Cabin crew reportedly discovered ’paraphernalia relating to drug use’ in the cubicle following Pete’s visit and called Barcelona police to meet him from the plane. However officers found only methadone on the singer and let him walk free ... something he seems to be getting rather used to.

Concerns for Kate’s well-being - May 26, 2020
Kate Moss has sparked concerns for her well-being after she was spotted leaving her home with what appeared to be a bruised cheek. The supermodel was seen looking dishevelled and was wearing over-sized sunglasses yesterday (25.05.06) just minutes after a visit from ex-boyfriend, Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty. The troubled rocker’s visit comes just days after the supermodel was revealed to be dating British TV presenter Russell Brand.

An onlooker was quoted in the Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "Her right cheek definitely looked bigger than the other side. "Both under her sunglasses and around her chin looked swollen." Moss’s aides have denied speculation Doherty may have hit her and insisted the swollen cheek was caused by "an unfortunate camera angle". They said Doherty had visited the model’s home to have a shower. Moss and the 27-year-old songwriter split after Doherty refused to go into rehab to treat his heroin addiction.

Kate kicked and punched Pete - May 22, 2020
Kate Moss kicked and punched ex-lover Pete Doherty after he injected heroin in front of a film crew. The supermodel allegedly lost her temper and attacked the drug-addled rocker as the pair talked in the street outside her London home.

She was furious after hearing the troubled singer had injected drugs backstage after a gig in Berlin - then squirted a syringe full of his blood over cameramen filming his Babyshambles bandmates. Doherty told a Swiss newspaper: "She was furious. She hit me until I was black and blue. She whacked me with her fists and feet. "I’m OK but she injured my finger."

Biography

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago we didn’t even know who Pete Doherty was now that not a day goes by when another entry to the PD catalogue of disasters is published in the tabloids.

A long and drawn out battle with drugs, an especially fiery relationship with Croydon’s favourite daughter and any number of bust ups and arrests has made the singer/songwriter one of Britain’s most recognisable faces (all be it a screwed up, sweaty zombie face).

Born on March 12 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland and living at various times in Liverpool, Shepherd’s Bush, Coventry, Dorset, Cyprus and Russia, Pete Doherty first came to the public’s attention as one half of the singing songwriting duo who fronted Britain’s must see band, The Libertines, who kick started the country’s new garage rock scene in 2002/03.

Debauched backstage shenanigans and frantic but brilliant shows saw The Libertines hit the headlines time and time again and their debut album, Up The Bracket, shot up the charts. However, the band’s success was to be short lived and numerous problems, between Pete and the rest of the band (specifically with best friend Carl Barat - the pair met when they became flatmates in Stoke Newington) saw them part ways but not before Pete hit the headlines for drink and drug problems which caused him to steal from his bandmates to feed his habit.

It was around this time that Lisa Moorish gave birth to Doherty’s child, Astile but, rather than settling down Pete carried on taking heroin, selling his ’My Drug Hell’ stories to any and every tabloid to pay for his out of control habit before being put in to several rehab clinics (including a Thai monastery), none of which have changed his ways.

Nonetheless he has managed to forge a career on his own, first working with Wolfman on For Lovers then forming Babyshambles, initially as a way to make money for.you guessed it! Now trying to get clean with the aid of Naltroxene after an arrest for assault, which resulted in some jail time as well as a curfew and constant supervision Pete is reportedly set to marry supermodel Kate Moss.
