Pete Doherty Biography
Pete Doherty was born March 12, 1979, in Hexham, Northumberland, England. The son of a major in the British Army, he spent much of his early life jettisoning between garrisons in Catterick, Belfast, Germany, Bedworth, Dorset, and Larnaca, near the southeast coast of Cyprus. That constant upheaval combined with his father’s strict disciplinary approach to parenting eventually caused Doherty to rebel, and he moved to London after high school.
Left to his own devices, Doherty began to take an active interest in the city’s thriving punk scene and within months he formed a band with his flatmate and fellow musician Carl Barât. The group, which became known as The Libertines, achieved a modicum of success in 2002 when their debut album Up the Bracket hit No. 35 on the UK Albums chart. That was followed in 2004 by The Libertines, a startingly biographical album that topped the UK charts en route to achieving platinum certification
Rock Star Pete Doherty Sentenced To 6 Months In Jail
Sex, drugs, and Rock n Roll. Most rockers don’t get in trouble for their drugging and boozing, but not all of them have that luxury. In the most recent news of celebrity brushes with the law; Pete Doherty, lead singer of British rock group The Libertine’s, has gone to jail for possession of cocaine.
Last year in January his close friend Robyn Whitehead passed away and was arrested for cocaine possession during the time he was being interviewed about the death. In April, 2011 he pleaded guilty, and then in a hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London on Friday, Doherty was sentenced to a whopping 6 months in jail. Just hours after he admitted that the death of his friend has left him a ‘broken’ man, he was sentenced.
