On the near eve of releasing his solo album 'Grace/Wasteland', the man who likes to be known as Mr Peter (not Pete) Doherty now, has come out of his over-cracked shell to reveal how he once sold acid to The Strokes.
"I actually already knew them before I was in a band or anything," he explained to Shortlist Magazine. "It was back when I was working in a bar pulling pints. I used to sell a few little things on the side, you know?
"They were on their first tour, and were like just a few American lads in London looking for a good time. They met a friend of mine, who said I could get them a few bits and bobs. I think I sold them a load of acid, they gave me tickets to their gig, I got them some more acid and it went from there."
It's nice to know how Pete makes friends, and why he might have so many of them.
Peter Doherty releases his solo album, 'Grace/Wastelands', on Monday (March 16).
