“I’m glad things worked out this way, y’know? This is how it should be.”

So says Peter Doherty in considerable understatement, dog Gladys at his feet, two-year-old daughter Billie-May and wife Katia nearby, a songwriter who regained his No.1 album status with The Libertines’ fourth studio album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade in 2024. The timing was serendipitous, the album’s No.1 triumph coming twenty years after The Libertines No.1 album, way back in the mayhem of 2004.
