Pete Doherty Has Drug Treatment Order Removed

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been freed from his drug treatment order.

District Judge Jane McIvor told Doherty at a hearing at Thames Magistrates Court this morning (October 24th) that she would be revoking the remaining six months of his order following consultation with drug experts.

Judge McIvor said that clear plans were in place to ensure that the singer can continue in his battle to beat addiction, reports the BBC.

As the court session drew to a close, McIvor said to Doherty, "I wish you well."

Speaking about the outcome outside the courtroom, Doherty said: "I have just had enough really. It's just the beginning, you know what I mean. My life has changed."

Despite today’s result, Doherty is still due in court on Friday (October 26th) to be sentenced on different charges relating to an incident in West London in May.

The singer is charged with driving illegally while in possession of drugs.
