bbc said:
Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of stealing a car and possessing class A drugs.

Mr Doherty, 26, and two men from Dundee - aged 18 and 19 - were detained by police in Birmingham on Monday evening.

West Midlands Police said three men were arrested on suspicion of theft of a car, reportedly stolen in London, and allegedly possessing class A drugs.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said all three had been released on police bail "pending further enquiries".

Eyewitness Mike Kelly said he had seen a police car from the neighbouring West Mercia force pursue Mr Doherty in a vehicle "heading the wrong way" along one-way Colmore Row.

"An unmarked police car with the blue lights flashing came head on and stopped him," Mr Kelly said.

"He was surrounded by two police motorcyclists and put into the back of the police car."

Mr Doherty's band recently resumed a tour which was rescheduled after the singer was held in custody on drugs charges.

Babyshambles had to cancel dates in Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle and London following Mr Doherty's arrest in January.

Health promise

The singer subsequently received a 12-month community service order after pleading guilty to seven charges of drug possession.

Mr Doherty was held in Pentonville Prison in north London for 13 nights in January and sentenced at Ealing Magistrates Court earlier this month.

He was ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation programme and warned he could face prison if he broke his community service order.

He subsequently vowed to "start a drug-free life" and told Channel 4 News that he was "not that much of a junkie anyway".


Well - that might be the last we hear of him!

personally i think he is a genius.

He is a very talented musician and one of the best songwriters this country has produced in the last twenty years. Most of "Up the Bracket" and "the Libertines" is genius. there is a passion to his music which makes other bands like U2 look like the faceless corporate AOR shmucks they are.

If you dont like the fact that he is a drug taker i can accept that. But what I dont like is the fact that everyone forgets all the other musicians who are off their heads. The Beatles spent most of the latter part of their career high, most of the prog rock scene was infused with drugs, hendrix was well known to go on stage with tabs of acid under his sweatband so why are these people lauded and Doherty damned? oh, i remember, its because he is an easy target and we just love to whip them when they are down...

I couldn't give a toss what he sticks up his nose/veins/arse. Difference between him and the Beatles/Stones/Hendrix is that those guys could still produce fantastic music whilst smacked off their tits.

He's a sh1t musician. The end.

personally I think you're talking bollix He's a vacuous, talentless gobshite. See his performance at Live 8? What a waste of space. My 7 yr old could do better than him. Correction, my 7 yr old's pet rabbit could do better than him.

Drugs used to be cool.

But they are so cheap now that every plonker from every sink estate is off their box all the time.

That makes them not cool.

And Docherty comes with a package of other petty theft baggage. We don't like that, do we chorus?
