Peter Doherty (born 12th March 1979), The Libertines and Babyshambles frontman, is as well known for his rock & roll lifestyle and excesses as he is his music, which often straddles between garage rock and post-punk.

Doherty has frequently played solo gigs, often doing so at short notice, sometimes holding guerrilla gigs at various places, including his own North London flat. In 2009, he released his first solo album, titled “Grace/Wastelands,” which was received with critical acclaim. Doherty has also reunited with The Libertines and Babyshambles for some high profile performances at European festivals since 2009.
