Default Where now for Pete Doherty?

www.thisisfakediy.com has a pretty interesting article up at the moment about Pete from the libertines, you should check it out. In fact the site's got some pretty good features on it.

I think Pete's lost it. How many second chances does one guy want? He burgled his band mates house and stole money from him, and he was forgiven. He's walked out on countless numbers of shows and the fans have kept forgiving him. Then he is given the chance to go into rehab in Thailand FOR FREE and he throws that opportunity back in the faces of everyone who is trying to help him. He has to make a choice soon whether he wants to live or die, and until he does that then there is nothing that anyone can do for him.

i'm surprised the band are naive enough to keep welcoming him back into the band when it's clear he's not clean and isn't going to be for quite a while, seems a bit of a waste of time really

Well, they've officially (again) kicked him out now until he can come back clean. He says he can't get clean unless he's back in the band, so it's Catch 22.

It is a sad thing to see, when someone is on self destruct. If he was an employee for most businesses, he would have been fired, at a minimum, a long time ago. Sometimes cutting someone loose is the best thing you can do for them when it comes to addictions. In each and every band, if each member isn't giving 100%, the whole band suffers and a change must take place...No matter how much talent that person brings to the group. Truly unfortunate, and I hope he truly straightens himself out. The Libertines need to move on.

Haha Babyshambles were so bad last night. I actually left in disgust.

JOHNNY BORRELL and PETE DOHERTY have been involved in a backstage bust-up at the CARLING WEEKEND: LEEDS FESTIVAL. Both bands played on the final night of the event yesterday (August 28) at Bramham Park in Leeds, with Razorlight on the main stage and Babyshambles appearing on the nearby NME / Radio 1 Stage.

Witnesses claim that shortly before midnight Doherty went to Razorlight’s dressing room, and headbutted the Razorlight singer. As things got worse, security broke up the fight.

A festival source said: “We’ve been told that Pete Doherty did in fact have a disagreement with Razorlight. Rumour is that Doherty walked into the band’s dressing room last night after both bands had played and in an unprovoked attack headbutted Johnny Borrell. Johnny put Doherty on the floor and left the dressing room, at which point festival security escorted Doherty from the dressing room and back to his bus."

A spokesperson for Doherty was unavailable for comment, however, a spokesperson for the festival confirmed that an incident had taken place, but declined to comment further.

What a tosser!!

Wow, the two biggest attention seeking tossers at the festival manage to somehow get into a fracas.

How incredibly tedious.
