According to the NME friends of Libertines' Pete Doherty are now "very concerned for his well being" after the singer reportedly quit rehab for the second time in less than a month. As previously reported, Doherty quit (or possibly was chucked out of) the London branch of the Priory last month. He then went to a French rehab clinic where his mother and girlfriend were said to be close by in a bid to help him quit his drug addiction. However it seems he has now quit that facility. A spokesman for the band said yesterday: "Peter left The Priory this morning, his whereabouts are currently unknown although every effort is being made to find him. We are all very concerned for his well being."
No word on where this leaves the Libertines various upcoming scheduled gigs - though the rest of the band seem unwilling to play without Doherty this time, which means the band's sets at the Isle of Wight, Glastonbury and Meltdown festivals are looking less likely.
