Pete Doherty In “Drugs Collapse”

by Becky Howard

Just as we’d almost forgotten all about him, Pete Doherty has reminded us that actually, he’s the proper druggie musician around here, not Amy Winehouse. The ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss has been caught allegedly taking drugs on a flight to Switzerland, and was arrested last Friday.

Pete – whose drug problems have been well documented over the (approximately) last thousand years– was found “slumped” in the toilets of the British Airways flight, and a hypodermic needle taken away by staff. After paying a fine, he was allowed to go and perform at a concert in Geneva. How? Why? At least some things, like death, taxes, and drug-addicted pop stars always stays the same, we guess.
