On his own, and often with his band, he has continued The Libertines' tradition of performing on short notice guerrilla gigs in small venues. On New Year's Eve , Doherty held a guerrilla gig in his North London flat where he showcased some of his solo works, many of which later leaked onto the internet.
For this occasion he produced, at the suggestion of Bettina Aichbauer, friend of Doherty and owner of the NonStop Kino, a film with the title Spew It Out Your Soul which he showed on-screen during his performance. It was his biggest solo show so far. The concert was originally scheduled for 26 April, but had to be rescheduled to a later date due to Doherty being sentenced to 14 weeks in prison for breaching probation on 8 April. The solo show did not get the best ratings but was all in all still well received.
Jon Swaine of The Daily Telegraph criticised that "whole chunks of the set … passed by as listless noodling, with neither Doherty nor the audience appearing to know quite how to behave" and that — without a full band — Doherty seemed out of place at such a big venue. Betty Clarke of The Guardian described Doherty as "focused" and "on good form". Friend and collaborator Peter Wolfe had a guest appearance on stage when Doherty performed "For Lovers".
Swaine stated Wolfe ruined the song with "some especially tuneless backing vocals". The gig was forced to an abrupt end during the encore due to a stage invasion by the fans.
After numerous attempts to persuade him to make a serious attempt at rehabilitation, in early Doherty's father decided he was tired of broken promises and vowed not to see his son again until he was clean of drugs.
The sensitivity surrounding the issue became apparent in the BBC Two Arena documentary about Doherty, on 12 November , which included footage of him talking about this aspect of his personal life.
He was visibly upset and had to politely ask the interviewer at one point to stop filming. In October , Doherty explained in an interview with the BBC Radio 4 show Front Row that he had briefly reconciled with his father after three years when his father visited him in rehab, but were estranged again over drugs.
On 2 February , Doherty was arrested after an altercation with documentary filmmaker Max Carlish, who was making a rockumentary about the singer and sold photos of a heroin-smoking Doherty to the tabloids.
Doherty and his friend Alan Wass had been charged with robbery and blackmail. All charges against him were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service due to a lack of evidence. Prior to the disbanding of The Libertines, Doherty collaborated with local poet Wolfman. Together they recorded the single "For Lovers", which entered the top 10, charting at number 7, in April Despite the success of the single, which was nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for songwriting, Doherty and Wolfman received relatively little money, having already sold the publishing rights for a small sum in a pub.
Later in , Doherty provided guest vocals to the song "Down to the Underground" by the British group Client. The song was released in June as a B-side to the group's single "In It for the Money" and appears on their second album City. The group achieved critical and commercial success and gained a dedicated cult following, with Doherty, in particular, being praised by fans and critics alike as one of the most promising songwriters to emerge on the British music scene for some time.
However, Doherty's increasing drug problems led to his estrangement from the band. The two initially fell out over this incident, but made amends whilst Doherty was in prison. He was originally sentenced to 6 months, but his sentence was cut to 2 months.
On 7 September Doherty was sentenced by Judge Roger Davies to six months in prison; the sentence was eventually shortened to two months on appeal with the judge commenting, "We feel that a custodial sentence was justified in this case but sufficient credit was not given for his timely plea of guilty which it should have been.
We have reduced his sentence to two months which will allow for his almost immediate release. Doherty has a son, Astile born , with singer Lisa Moorish. Doherty is also known to be a devoted follower of Queens Park Rangers football club.
As a youth —96 he wrote a fanzine dedicated to the club, entitled "All Quiet on the Western Avenue". Doherty mentions Hancock, and makes an allusion to his catchphrase 'Stone me!
However, numerous literary and musical allusions occur throughout Doherty's ongoing Books of Albion. Their first full-length effort, the Mick Jones -produced Up The Bracket , was released later in the year and received a similarly enthusiastic reception, with comparisions to pioneering punk acts like the Buzzcocks , The Clash and The Sex Pistols being frequently bandied about.
Similarities to the latter extended far beyond just the music, in fact: by this time Doherty had whole-heartedly embraced the self-destructive, chemically-drenched lifestyle of the Pistols' Sid Vicious , and seemed to be as dedicated in his intention to send himself to an early grave. With the release of Bracket in the States in early and the band's appearance at the Coachella Festival, their popularity began to spread across the Atlantic, but by June the situation between Doherty and the rest of The Libertines had degenerated considerably.
Babyshambles: Doherty founded Babyshambles towards the end of his time with The Libertines. Drug abuse and legal problems: Doherty has been repeatedly arrested for drug offences and those arising from drug misuse, such as driving under the influence, car theft, and driving with a suspended licence.
