Pete may be the ultimate poster boy for fuck ups across the world, so it’s easy to forget what a touching songwriter he can be when he’s not making headlines in British tabloids.

Carl Barat talks to the Sunday Mail about “the tragedy of Pete Doherty.” “You can’t give Pete advice. I’ve been through all that many times before. We were in Paris writing the second Libertines album, and I said to him, ‘Heroin and crack are bigger than you, mate — much bigger. If you carry on … Continue reading Carl Barat on Pete Doherty→
