"Don't call me a rockstar" – Pete Doherty Almost Walks Out of Interview (2016)

On 8 December 2016, Pete Doherty sat down with Krishnan Guru-Murthy in the O2 Forum in Kentish Town for a lengthy interview ahead of a concert with his band, the Puta Madres. The singer-songwriter discussed his new song, Hell to Pay at the Gates of Heaven, written following the Bataclan terrorist attacks in his adoptive home city of Paris. He also discussed the struggles of getting and staying clean, his relationship with the Libertines (and co-frontman Carl Barat in particular), whether he was religious, his connection to Paris, growing up as an army child, why he was proud to be English, and why he didn't believe in Tories. He also performed an acoustic rendition of Hell to Pay at the Gates of Heaven.

Stranger in my Own Skin, a documentary charting Peter Doherty's battle with addiction, was released on 9 November 2023. Weeks later, Doherty became the latest subject of Louis Theroux's BBC series Louis Theroux Interviews..., in which the singer-songwriter reflected on his life and career. Meanwhile, the Libertines' most recent single, Run Run Run, was released in October, ahead of the band's first album in nine years, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, scheduled for release in March 2024.
