Sex, drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Peter Doherty is one of those artists who are much more popular for their scandals and drug abuse than their music. From what I heard, he had to appear in court a couple of weeks ago for smashing a shop window in Regensburg.
I for one cannot think of a single song of his (outside Babyshambles or The Libertines anyway). Nonetheless, the guy has a decent solo album out which is much quieter and more acoustic than his bands used to be. That the gig is sold out, however, owes more to songs such as Fuck Forever (Babyshambles) or What a Waster (Libertines) – and yes, he will play those, if he doesn’t cancel that is…
