Good things can happen when talented people quit fooling around and get down to what they do best. In
Peter Doherty's case, one never knows whether he is back for good or whether he is simply teetering on the line, awaiting the next crash. Nevertheless, when Peter Doherty gets down to doing what he does best, the results are usually pretty amazing. His work with The Libertines and Babyshambles has been well received by fans and music critics alike, and judging by his debut solo effort,
Grace/Wastelands it seems like Peter Doherty's life is back on the right track.
To promote the release of the album's first single, "Last of the English Roses" Doherty has just recorded and released a new video for the song. In it we see a rather dapper looking Doherty, complete with his trademark fedora, wandering around, singing and playing football (or as we North Americans call it...soccer). And going with the "Last of the English Roses" theme, you can
