Pete Doherty sentenced to 14 weeks in jail
LONDON (AP) -April 8, 2008 His record company says the sentence handed down Tuesday by a
London court meant the Babyshambles' frontman's planned concert at
the Royal Albert Hall on April 26 would be postponed.
Parlophone Records did not say how Doherty broke his probation.
But music magazine NME cited a court spokesman as saying Doherty
had used different kinds of drugs, breached "time keeping," and
generally not complied with his probation.
Doherty's drug use has frequently landed him in court. Last year
he pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine
and cannabis and a variety of driving offenses.
