Oh God, not again

Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs after being stopped in East London, a day after missing a Leeds Cockpit gig.

You are not. Going. To. Believe. This. Which is why I must spell. It. Out.

Pete Doherty has been arrested, yet again, on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs. The singer was pulled over by police at 5.40am on Thursday morning whilst driving in East London. A spokesperson for the Met told NME.com: "Officers stopped a vehicle in Laburnum Street, E2, due to the erratic manner in which in was being driven. Substances were recovered from the driver, a 26 year-old male, who was arrested for alleged possession of Class A drugs. He was taken to an east London police station where he remains in custody."

Doherty had failed to turn up to a gig at the Leeds Cockpit the previous evening. He has been released from custody now, and the Babyshambles tour was set to continue last night at Newcastle; no news forthcoming as to whether he showed up or not. Is it just me who thinks that the boy needs to be sectioned for his own safety?
