Pete Doherty

Pete Doherty was a founding member of the English rock group The Libertines, which released two albums before breaking up in 2004. After the break-up, Doherty became the front man for Babyshambles, which has released two albums as well, the 2005 debut, Down In Albion, and the critically acclaimed 2007 follow-up, Shotter's Nation.

According to reports on June 11, 2009, Doherty was arrested in Gloucester for suspected DUI and drug possession after police spotted a car "being driven erratically." His arrested reportedly took place less than 30 minutes after he finished a show at Gloucester's Guildhall Arts Centre.Mail Online: Pete Doherty arrested on suspicion of drink driving and drug offences following gig (June 11, 2009)

In September, 2005, a scandal involving Doherty and his then-girlfriend Kate Moss caused a media storm. Footage of the pair snorting cocaine led to Moss losing lucrative modeling contracts. Doherty's reputation for illicit behavior was already well-known, however, and his career may have actually been bolstered by the heightened media attention.
