Things with his parents are good, too. Doherty, Russell-Pavier and Headlock left the flat 15 seconds later. Does he ever have moments when he thinks how different his life is now from how it once was? Doherty was absolved of any connection to either death, and he writes vehemently about his innocence in the book. Reports say Blanco was "excited". I kept saying, You gotta keep that in, its funny! But they kept saying, No, no, no. Plus, my wife was a little bit concerned, but I said to her: If you dont read it and I dont read it, we can just pretend it doesnt exist. But thats not how she does things., (Later, I ask Dohertys literary agent about how the book was written and he says: A Likely Lad is a ghosted autobiography based on many hours of conversation between Peter and the ghost writer.

The story of Dohertys return to sobriety will probably not be adopted as a model by Narcotics Anonymous, given that it began with him being arrested in Paris twice in 48 hours first for buying crack; then for beating up a motorcyclist who Doherty writes was driving his scooter towards one of my dogs. He was quite good, actually.) As the most infamous member of the Libertines, and then his second band Babyshambles, Doherty wasnt just at the heart of that era, he defined it, in ways both good (his poetry, his idealism, his stylishness) and bad (the drugs, the convictions, the wasted talent). I ask about his relationship with De Vidas, whom hes been with for five years, and how she coped when he was still using. Pete Doherty is the patron saint of the NME, the questionable reincarnation of Jesus Christ according to himself, and in the view of the general public Britain's premiere twat.

He says that while he is now "quite clean", he still mixes it up with the odd boozy cocktail. There were rumours that Doherty himself had sold those photos, which he has always firmly denied, and Lord knows he had plenty of hangers-on who would have sold photos of their dead grandmother for a tenner.

Doherty looks a world away from his days as a young indie hellraiser where - alongside his supermodel ex-girlfriend Kate Moss - he embodied the ultra-skinny 'heroic chic' style of the Noughties.
