The Libertines singer has enjoyed chart-topping success yet his career has often been overshadowed by personal turmoil - including drug addiction and time behind bars.
Pete Doherty, the former heroin addict and co-frontman of The Libertines, now faces serious health issues due to a diet heavy in cheese and alcohol, which has left him in "worse health" than during his drug addiction. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Doherty has been warned by doctors that his excessive consumption of cheese and wine could lead to limb amputation. Despite giving up drugs, he has struggled with alternative indulgences, admitting that his current lifestyle is as detrimental as his past substance abuse. His situation highlights the irony of trading one destructive habit for another, leading many to view his choices as "deeply misguided."
