Pete Doherty, 45, shows off dramatic weight loss after diabetes diagnosis prompted major diet overhaul


The Libertines musician, 45, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes earlier this year and said he has given up the 'main poisons' to improve his health after his doctor issued a stark warning.

The front man of rock band Babyshambles added a flat cap, red socks and black suede shoes to his look and puffed away on a cigarette as he patted his beloved dog Gladys who was sat beside him. The rocker has previously admitted that his larger figure is the result of tucking in to his guilty pleasure - including French cheese which he started to enjoy after relocating with his wife Katia de Vida (pictured together August,2023) Peter Doherty: Stranger In My Own Skin shows the extent of his horrific drug addiction, his pained performances at the height of his illness and also contains film of him with his friend and lover Amy Winehouse.
