Pete Doherty Released From Prison Early - Planning London Duet With Amy Winehouse

by Dave Parrack on May 6th, 2008

Last month saw Pete Doherty sent to prison for 14 weeks for breaching a probation order revolving around his drug habit.

However, this morning just 29 days (or 4 weeks) in to his sentence, he was released from Wormwood Scrubs jail in London for good behaviour.

He then wasted no time in trying to get his faltering career back on track, by agreeing to now play the Glastonbury Festival set which it was thought he’d miss while in jail, and promising to reschedule the Royal Albert Hall gig he cancelled from April 26th.

What’s more, The Daily Mirror are reporting that keen to show solidarity with fellow druggie Amy Winehouse, and in an effort to stick two fingers up at society, he has asked the Rehab singer to duet with him at the rescheduled concert.

Winehouse herself nearly joined the former Libertine in prison after she was arrested on suspicion of assault. However, she was later released with no charges brought.

I really can’t understand why Doherty was let out so early, as he’ll just go back to what he was doing before, and totally ignore the advice and orders given to him by the authorities.

As for the Royal Albert Hall gig, if Winehouse does indeed show her face, then I’d hate to think what the rider will consist of. I’m thinking the organisers will have to enlist the help of a pharmacist rather than a caterer.
