At the turn of the millennium, he was a star on the indie music scene, cutting a bad boy figure as the frontman for The Libertines and Babyshambles and dating a string of high-profile women, including Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse.

In the mid-2000s he found himself at odds with the law, pleading guilty to drug charges. He did jail time in 2011 after a judge noted his appalling track record of 13 previous court appearances.

He also faced burglary charges for breaking into a music store in Germany to steal a guitar and on a flight to Switzerland he was arrested for doing drugs after passing out in the plane’s bathroom.

Doherty spent time in and out of rehab and was kicked out of a facility in Thailand.
