Description
Peter Doherty's story is a rock 'n' roll tale of highs and lows, of highs and incredible lows. Since his band The Libertines rose to international fame, he has been endlessly fascinating, the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and magazine articles. For the first time, he shares his own version of his story, a life marked by controversy, scandal, and musical genius. Doherty's life has been a whirlwind of music, friendships, and distractions, including exhibitions of blood paintings, modelling, and lead roles in esoteric French films. He has also known death and self-destruction, including working as a rent boy. This book takes readers inside mansions, decadent parties, the jailhouse, the studio, crack dens, and his own home, where he has two children. Through it all, Doherty's music has defined the past twenty years of British rock 'n' roll, with his sound, words, attitude, lifestyle, and aesthetic leaving a lasting impact. This is his story, a raw and unflinching look at a life that has been both celebrated and reviled.
