I Tried So Hard To Keep Myself From Falling Back To My Bad Old Ways...

NME Reports:

PETE COMES HOME

THE LIBERTINES' PETE DOHERTY is back in the UK after going to Thailand in an attempt to beat his drug addiction. As previously reported, the guitarist flew out for a rigorous course of rehab at the Thamkrabok Monastery. The Monastery claim to provide one of the most successful detoxification and rehabilitation programs in the world, having treated over 100,000 patients since its inception in 1958. However, Pete walked out after just a few days, and has been in Bangkok ever since. A spokesperson for the band told NME.COM Pete returned home yesterday (June 17). Doherty's trip to Thailand to clean up was the reason The Libertines pulled out of festival appearances in June, including last weekend's Isle Of Wight festival.
