Libertines' Doherty Admits To Drug ProblemJust in case the drama around the Libertines didnt already seem like a soap opera, its now seemingly coming at us on a regular weekly basis. Following the news that Pete Doherty the core member of the band who has been missing their live shows out of concern for his health, according to a band statement had made the most of his time back in London by breaking into and burgling bandmate Carl Barats apartment, the singer/guitarist has now admitted to the drug use that many have been not-so-quietly attributing his problems to. Doherty confessed to U.K. newspaper the Evening Standard that he is addicted to both heroin and crack cocaine, and that evidence of both was discovered in his blood following his arrest. He went on to say that he was aware of how bad his problem was and that he desperately wanted to clean up his act and get back with the band, but was unsure how to move forward. Apparently, the bands label, Rough Trade, sponsored a trip to rehab for Doherty a few months back, but he ran out on the program shortly after being admitted. (8/26/03)
AWOL Libertine Arrested For Burgling
Things arent getting a whole lot better for the Libertines. While the band remains out on tour without guitarist/co-frontman Pete Doherty, the absent musician has now been arrested in London for burglary. While details remain scarce at press time, Doherty was apprehended after reportedly entering an apartment in the city, after which he appeared in court and posted bail. The Libertine-in-limbo is due to return for a hearing on Aug. 11. All of this, of course, further squashes fan hopes that Doherty would be back with the group when it returns to the U.S. for a brief string of headlining dates beginning in early August. Meanwhile, one of the last tracks that Doherty recorded with the band, "Dont Look Back Into The Sun," will be released as a U.K. single on Aug. 18.

I think Katrina will have moved out by the time I get home. Haven't seen her for weeks anyways.
