Posted August 20, 200717 yr http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMVGAMES/LP010107.JPG Feb 2007 Pete Doherty, erstwhile singer with The Libertines, is a British icon. Whether he is playing impromptu gigs in his front room or performing at Live 8, he possesses a sense of drama and expectation not seen in a performer since Sid Vicious. He is enigmatic, charismatic and thoroughly entertaining. Since leaving The Libertines, his life has become something of a rock 'n' roll soap opera where rumours of crack addiction abound, gossip about his relationship with Kate Moss is rife, and predictions for his future vary wildly. Written by Alex Hannaford, former rock and pop editor on the "London Evening Standard", and with a brand new foreword by Pete's mum, Jackie Doherty, this is the definitive biography of Pete Doherty. Anyone read this? I'm 200 pages into it and it's AMAZING. Gives a really good insight into his progression up the musical ladder. I'd recomment it to any fan ^_^
