Pete Doherty Speaks Out!
www.mtv.co.uk - 5th Sep 2008
Pete Doherty: MTV News caught up with
Pete Doherty in the early hours of this morning at the Rhythm Factory venue in Whitechapel and spoke exclusively about the media claims that he nearly died earlier in the week due to an overdose.
Pete played a completely acoustic show for his fans and was supported by friends, The Thirst.
After the gig
Pete left the stage to speak to MTV News and tackle those recent claims.
On the claim by the media that
Pete nearly died earlier in the week due to an overdose...
Pete Doherty: 'I know that was absolute rubbish, I was in Austria, I mean between me and you like, it would've been lovely to have enough stuff but there was nothing about, to be honest it was a really clean week and it was complete rubbish.'
On how his solo album is coming along and how he needs money…
Pete Doherty: 'Unfortunately, the bailiff's have been knocking quite a lot so I've got to do (shows) like, I've got to go back on in a minute and do the encore for things like this, but that' what I'm doing really, writing and recording on my own but I'm doing some stuff with Babyshambles as well.'
On why he's chosen to release a solo album and when he wants to release it…
Pete Doherty 'In the past everything I've done on my own I've just recorded on my own and stuck it on the internet for nothing and this time I'm going to hold it back for a bit and then put it on an album rather than just give it away… bailiffs and that. Hopefully by Christmas everything will be wrapped, recorded and mastered.'
On the media hounding him…
Pete Doherty 'To be honest where I am at the moment, I'm slap bang in the middle of a forest and they don't really trouble me to be honest, they're not really about.'
On why he's collaborated with band, The Thirst, on his forthcoming solo album…
Pete Doherty 'They're f***ing dynamite, they're young, full of beans, quality lyrics, they play guitars like b****ds… and they're like a proper little gang, as well I noticed, meeting them offstage they're quite moody and hard to talk to, like a little closed camp and I like it, it's how bands should be, dangerous.'
On wanting to work with UK rapper Klashnekoff…
Pete Doherty 'Been trying to but we keep turning up at different times, but it will happen hopefully. I love that line about swinging like McGuigan, I love that bit. From the manor where man is animal, selling flammable rocks, specialise in handling cops. Lambing you like fox.'
After the interview,
Pete returned for his encore.
