Posted April 8, 200817 yr Source: NME.com Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for failing to turn up to probation hearings on time and drug use. Doherty attended West London Magistrates Court today (April 8), where Judge Davinder Lachar handed the singer/guitarist the sentence. A spokesperson for the court said that Doherty had been jailed for "breach of time keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs". Doherty had been given a suspended jail sentence for possession of drugs and driving illegally in October last year. His supervision order required him to make regular visits to court for progress reports, as well as take part in a drug rehabilitation programme. He was threatened with up to four months in jail if he broke the law during this period. A spokesperson for Doherty told NME.COM that he was looking into grounds for appeal. The 14-week sentence would not only cover the singer's solo show at the Royal Albert Hall in London (April 26), but the Glastonbury (June 27-29) festival, which he is due to play. His label, Parlophone, explained the solo show will be postponed but it "is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced. Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and all those concerned". Well he's been there before and I'm extremely upset he's gone in again not that I'm saying he doesn't deserve it but he's actually done a brilliant job at actually keeping himself ALIVE and Amy Winehouse deserves to go to jail just as much as he does but I suppose this country has been brainwashed as she's 'pop' and by the fact the Sun and the Mirror report him as a 'monster' for every small little he does and people who think he's 'thick', 'a t***' or 'talentless' need to stop reading those papers :rolleyes: This man has made more of an impact on the music scene in the 21st century than anyone, fact! And there are many people and that very much includes me who absolutely adore him because of the music he makes from The Libertines AND Babyshambles (well apart from some of the mess that was Down In Albion) I have seen Babyshambles live where Pete has turned up (unfortunately never The Libertines :cry: ) and when he's got nothing in his system the man is brilliant frontman and knows how to put on a show, he's been going in the right direction lately in terms of getting better and hopefully he can continue to go that way when he gets out but I suppose he'll never win because the whole thing with the tabloids and their treatment of him and comparing it to Winehouse to Sun readers he'll always be a hate figure but here's to hoping when he gets out that he can stick two fingers up and I truly believe and hope he can. See you at Reading Peter! *Builds protective for from Sun readers and people who are fans of manufactured popstars having the nerve to call someone talentless*
April 8, 200817 yr :hithead: :hithead: Sorry to all those people who like him but I think he is an complete utter KNOB HEAD! He probably will get his sentence reduced as he is a celeb.
April 9, 200817 yr Amy should definatly be jailed, she even wrote a song about refusing to go to rehab when Peter's been trying to get off, and he has been getting much better.
