Love him or loathe him, Pete Doherty is back performing in four concerts in England and Scotland.
The ex-gravedigger, ex-Libertines front man and ex-ex of supermodel Kate Moss has had a chequered career to date defined by extreme success and extreme failure, the latter brought about by his widely reported use of drugs.
This tour sees Doherty back on form after celebrated sessions in rehab with his recent performances receiving consistently good reviews. Earlier this year, he performed a solo gig at the Royal Albert Hall when the stage was invaded by over-enthusiastic fans during the encore.
Recognised as being one of the most promising songwriters on the UK music scene, Doherty was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for the single, The Lovers which he wrote in collaboration with the poet Wolfman. As well as performing with the band Babyshambles, formed in the latter days of the Libertines, his solo shows are likely to involve a host of other artists in addition to his acoustic material that still manages to hit the spot with melodies like The Lost Art of Murder and What Katie Did.
His latest album Grace/Wastelands, the first since the Libertines, has been described as containing songs of “genuine brilliance” with unexpected chord changes and an “air of understated, small-hours melancholy.”
Strutting the world’s stage like a kind of shambolic Renaissance man, Doherty is variously a poet, painter and writer; his book The Books of Albion: The Collected Writings of Peter Doherty was published in 2007 and his journals provide a unique insight into his life.
A songwriter of genius and true rock star, Pete Doherty is undoubtedly one of the characters and performers of a generation.
