Uncut Pete Doherty Interview on Release From Prison (2008)

On 6 May 2008, singer-songwriter, musician, and poet Peter Doherty held an impromptu press conference by the gates of Wormwood Scrubs following his release from the West London prison. The renowned bad boy of noughties rock had served four weeks of a 14-week prison sentence handed down to him after the Libertines frontman breached a probation order. Expecting to be picked up by his manager, Doherty emerged to find a press pack awaiting him before learning that his manager was late. While he tried to track down a lift home, Doherty spoke to the assembled journalists about his latest stint in prison. He showed the cameras a certificate confirming he had passed a drugs test while inside, as well as a few pages of a journal he had kept over the past month. Summing up his experience, Doherty described prison life as "a lot of gangsters and Radio 4".

You dont have to see it. Just hear it!🤷‍♂

I used to think like that about him. Hadn’t heard any of his music and just went by how the media portrayed him. It wasn’t until around 2014 when I started listening to the libertines, babyshambles etc that I started to realise how talented he is. Having struggled with addiction myself I found myself relating to him a lot more and my view completely changed. I won’t deny some of his behaviour didn’t help with the publics view of him but overall I think he’s incredibly talented and a sensitive soul. Massive fan now and met him at his book signing. Very down to earth and softly spoken.

@@jayf2394 I was the same. Saw him in the newspapers everyday hadn’t listened to a single thing. Went onto KZbin and WOW. Been the biggest fan since. Thankfully I done this a lot earlier than you so I’ve had years of fun at gigs etc
