Do you like my hat? Musician Pete Doherty, looking a little worse for wear, was clutching his trademark headgear last night as he left Torriano club in Camden after a gig.

The portly singer was right to be wary as it was snatched of his head as he made for his Range Rover. Now, you really can't deprive a musician of his hat.

Pete is a LEGEND. People who don't see further than the tabloids are ignorant.'Last of the English Gentlemen' Mr Peter Doherty

I guess none of you ever saw Pete's concerts. Well, you should. He is a terrific performer.
I guess all the haters have no idea who he really is or what music he makes. You know only the dirty stuff tabloids write.

Even when the chap is making a real effort to go on the straight and narrow (implant and gigging again - hurrah) people put him down.

Well, i love him, and since when does a bit of weight make someone less of an artist?

- Suzi Q, Kentish town ..England

Get a clue, guys. It's after a gig. Peter gets notoriously sweaty after gigs. That's all.

"Musician"?? What dictionary are you using??!

Actually Pete has an anti heroin implant at the moment and is on the right track hence the weight gain. Wish him well and hope it continues.

Just look at the state of him. No wonder Kate Moss dumped him. It´s obvious he is on a one-way self-destruction journey and he´s well down the trail. Let´s leave him to it and concentrate on more important news items.
