EXASPERATED after being kicked out of The Libertines (again) for his drug use, Peter Doherty was arrested for breaking into bandmate Carl Barât’s Harley Street flat. Overcome by emotion, he recalls stealing a DVD player and a laptop, before rummaging around for something to eat. “There was some ham in the fridge,” writes Doherty in his predictably grubby memoir A Likely. “It was out of date. I got my comeuppance there as well. I missed my first court appearance due to food poisoning.”
