A Year In The Life Of Pete Doherty

What a year it was...

May 17 - Channel 4 airs the Max Carlish documentary "Stalking Pete Doherty". Carlish's remaining shred of dignity is forever lost.

June 7 - Pete lashes out at his former band in an interview , claiming: “Apart from the Sex Pistols, The Libertines were probably the most manufactured band ever. It was just a case of let’s get the best looking people and be as much like The Strokes as possible. That was the idea at the time.”

June 22 - Pete fails to show up for a Vogue fashion shoot with Barat, Mick Jones, Shane McGowan and others.

June 25 - Babyshambles cover The Clash's White Riot at Glastonbury in honour of Mick Jones's 50th birthday.

July 2 - Pete joins Elton John at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park to perform T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution". Pete blames his universally denounced performance on suggestive comments made by Bob Geldof's daughter, Peaches, just before he took the stage.

July - Pete and Kate are named the most sought-after couple on Britain's party circuit by the Tattler magazine.

July - Babyshambles fail to turn up for their support slot on Oasis's UK stadium tour, leading the band to replace them on the tour.

Aug. 1 - Following the cancellation of a number of high-profile shows, and rumours that the band had split, Babyshambles play a surprise gig at the Underground Club in Stoke that is acclaimed as a return to greatness.

Aug. 2 - News reports claim Kate has bought Pete a £15,000 anti-heroin implant.

Aug. 3 - Pete is questioned by police in connection with the alleged assault of a junior reporter from The Mirror at a bar in London.

Aug. 13 - Pete is stopped at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, where customs officers found him to be in possession of a small amount of heroin. Pete, who had arrived in Oslo to perform at the Øyafestivalen festival with Babyshambles, remains in custody for three hours until festival organisers pay approximately £700 for him to be released. When the band appear onstage later, Pete vomits after just 20 minutes and the show is cut short.

Aug. 15 - Babyshambles release the single, "Fuck Forever", which reaches #4 in the UK singles chart.

Having been arrested for possession of Class A drugs three times in three weeks, Pete faces up to seven years in prison.

C'est assez étrange de voir à quel point, certains ont une vie passionante (même si scandaleuse et complétement dejantée), çà nous ramene toujours à notre existence, vide de sens.^^ lol ....Enfin Pete Doherty restant Pete Doherty, je ne souhaite à personne la vie qu'il a. C'est triste. D'autant que c'est un super musicien, compositeur, interprete. Il a vraiment beaucoup de talent pour moi!...Et je suis pas la seule à le penser, çà se saurait...
