Poor Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 6 months in prison after pleading guilty to cocaine possession (won't he ever learn?). But it seems the court has taken his musical talent and work commitments into account by giving Pete a release date of August 21st, 5 days before he is due to perform at the Reading and Leeds Carling Festival. How very considerate!
Judge David Radford who sentenced the singer stated; "From what I have heard and what I have read there is no doubt that you are a talented and successful musician. However, you have an appalling record of committed offences of the kind for which you fall to be sentenced today."
(When will the Doherty's and Lohan's of the world be sentenced like everyone else eh?)
Ticket holders for T in the Park and Oxegen however may be disappointed as the troubled poet will more than likely still be behind bars when the festies occur. Can't win em all Pete!
