Musician Pete Doherty jailed for six months after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine

This means he wont be at R&L?

[jump]

Unless he gets parole for good behaviour, he could be out in 3.

[mrtourette]

Hilarious.

[bennyk]

Doubt he will be at R+L now. I saw him last night at Leeds 02 academy, he was bloody brilliant, just him and his guitar. His own fault but i'm abit gutted now!

[mrtourette]

Will FR replace him now or line-up a replacement in reserve in case he isn't let out early?

[mrtourette]

Yeah true, I thought this may be different as he's a headliner. I guess they still have him as headliner and if he isn't out they'll bump everyone up (I think Brother are the general consensus to be playing below him unfortunately).

[rexclark]

I'd hope they'd bring someone else in, still plenty of time before the fest. Maybe Melvinn could allow Suede to do another couple of gigs.

[bennyk]

Did he have the 2 ballet dancers, absolute genius!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Indeed he did! Absolutely fantastic!

[Mariner]

Even if he gets released in 3 months to the day, he'll be a let out around a week before the festival. I think that's too much of a gamble for FR. I presume they will replace him, which will be welcome news.

[thetime]

which will be welcome news.

[Mariner]

why?

bet theres lots of people wanting to see him.

[Banana Co]

ppffff. Not me.

It's all about you!!

I think what I meant to say was that he's a talentless c**t.

I doubt Mariner can accurately convey the opinions of everyone going to the festival, so if he's glad that Doherty may be replaced then fair enough. It's his opinion. I don't remember him saying that he spoke for everybody or that everyone thought the same as him.

who's gonna replace him then? my guess is like manchester orchestra, the subways or the cribs

The cribs are way too big for the FR stage, the other two could happen. However; it would be something more similar to Pete than anything else.

Cral Barat to replace Pete would be funny.

But not good... cos his solo stuff is POOR.

[jazz565]

i just thought of a quality replacement but don't know if they are too big, The Hives.
