Pete Doherty's short but explosive career has embraced all the classic rock 'n' roll cliches: a wildly exciting band - The Libertines - hailed as saviours of rock, a bitter fall out with a musical partner, drug problems leading to prison, an affair with a world-famous model, and sufficient tabloid headlines to paper the side of a house. How did it all happen? Here in his own words, spiced with wit and candour is Pete's side of the story.
The rise of The Darkness from Def Leppard support act to double Brit Award winners and album chart-toppers in less than a year is a rock success story on its own. Outrageous frontman/guitarist Justin Hawkins, brother Dan, stone-faced bassist Frankie Poullain and all-action drummer Ed Graham play it for laughs in their videos, but take their music as seriously as the next megastars. And, as their off-stage pronouncements prove, they don't care how many peacock feathers they ruffle on their way to the top!
