Uno de las reuniones más importantes en lo que va del año probablemente es la de The Libertines cuando se juntaron para tocar en el Glastonbury y, además, un show muy íntimo que fue algo así como un ensayo en vivo que dieron solamente para los amigos.

Amy Winehouse e Pete Doherty hanno ricevuto consigli su come affrontare le dipendenze dalle droge pesanti da uno dei massimi esperti mondiali: Keith Richards. Il chitarrista dei Rolling Stones giura di vedere similitudini fra i suoi problemi e quelli dei due giovani artisti, e dichiara su NME: «Amy Winehouse e Pete si drogano per gli stessi motivi che lo facevamo noi. Tutto quello che direi è di drogarsi nel tempo libero, se è quello che si vuole fare, ma senza mischiare diversi tipi di droga. Ho parlato con Pete ma senza ottenere risultati. Se le mischiate [...]

Amy Winehouse, who has teetered on the brink of Pete Doherty since her break-through album Back in Black made her an international household name back in 2007, has been relatively headline free as of late. Her vacation from the music industry is a ballsy move, especially in an era of such fleeting consumption that bands are forgotten almost as quickly as they are built up.

There are rumors , though, that her next album will finally surface early [...]

You think Lindsay Lohan's rap sheet is bad? Try Pete Doherty's. On Tuesday, The Libertines frontman was arrested for the 21st time - this time it was in connection with the drug death of filmmaker and heiress Robin Whitehead, reports The Huffington Post . Now, I know Doherty had his fair share of arrests. Hell, these days, he's more known for his criminal history than his stellar discography. But 21 times? How does this not deserve its own feature? Of course, little did I know that compiling Doherty's arrestography would prove to be the most draining undertaking [...]
