Pete Doherty is Release From Prison!

The ex-boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, Pete Doherty, walking free from prison today. After served for 29 days of a 14-week sentence for breaching his probation, the Babyshambles singer left Wormwood Scrubs Prison in West London at around 7.10am this morning.

Dressed in a suit and tie, he told the waiting media he was pleased to be out and was looking forward to having a rum and coke and spending some time with his pet cats. He also showed the media a certificate confirming he had passed a drugs test while serving his sentence. His release comes despite claims Doherty smoked heroin behind bars even though he was taking the heroin substitute methadone.

The Babyshambles singer was jailed last month by District Judge Davinder Lachhar at West London Magistrates’ Court. The decision came after Doherty was handed a four-month suspended jail sentence in October for possessing crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis. His supervision order required him to make regular visits to court for progress reports, as well as take part in a drug rehabilitation programme.

Next project he’s heading is a concert at the Royal Albert Hall, that was postponed due his case, and which would have been his biggest solo show yet. The show is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date.

Welcome back, smell the air of the outside world Pete! I bet it tastes sweeter than those you inhale behind bars. So, be good this time, okay?
