Someone Finally Gave Pete Doherty an Ultimatum

Pete Doherty appeared in a London court this week and vowed to stay off drugs, saying various people in his life told him it was them or the drugs. Doherty was in front of the judge as part of a review for his court-ordered rehab.

Although Pete didn’t say who in his life gave him the ultimatum to stay off drugs, many believe he was referring to fiance Kate Moss.

He told District Judge Jane McIvor: “The people I’m closest to have had enough. They’ve said it’s drugs or them.”

He added: “A lot has changed in the past week.”

The singer did not say it was Moss who issued the ultimatum, but court observers said he had almost certainly been referring to her. He told Thames Magistrates Court: “I’m quite keen to show a negative test as soon as possible, really.”

The judge told the Babyshambles frontman: “There’s no obligation for you to turn up to reviews. The fact you (have) shows cooperation.”

She even showed sympathy, saying: “It’s a hard road, isn’t it?”

“All we can do is provide the network. You have to do all the hard work.”

Doherty praised his doctor but admitted he had not seen her recent review.

“I think you ought to,” said the judge. “She refers to your journey out of addiction.”

The singer said he is recording his new album next week.

When the judge first suggested a date for the next review, he joked: “I’m getting my nails done.”

His next review in court is now scheduled for October 17.

Yet another reason for Pete to stay off drugs: his expensive heroin and crack habit reportedly pushed him onto the verge bankruptcy.
