Pete Doherty's mum has given an interview to the Times about her son the Babyshambler, ahead of the publication of her upcoming book on the topic, 'Pete Doherty: My Prodigal Son'.
She told the paper that she never thought her son would become involved in drugs, explaining: "I remember being so proud of my children who were bright. They would never take drugs or break the law; they were past their teenage years and we'd sailed through those without a hitch."
But she was also keen to stress that despite everything Pete had only ever harmed himself through his drug addiction. She continued: "We haven't suffered as much as other families of junkies. Pete's never stolen from us, never beaten us for money, never brought trouble to our door."
