Mr Curran said the singer’s continued employment was "going particularly well", with an EP called The Blinding released today and a tour schedule beginning in Newcastle.

"This aspect of his life is going particularly well and he’s on the verge of signing a substantial record deal," he told the court.

And he said Pete was "still making an effort" with drug rehab and, although there had been "a breakdown" in that process, he hoped it could be rectified.

Pete banned from seeing son? - Nov 28 2006
It seems Pete Doherty is in trouble once again.

It’s been reported the Babyshambles singer might not be allowed to spend Christmas with his three-year-old son, Astile, his child with singer Lisa Moorish.

DJ Lisa was said to be furious with Pete after he was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs earlier this month, sources told the Daily Mail.

She has apparently vowed to ban the rocker from seeing his son until he sorts out his behaviour.

"She [Lisa] has warned him to clean up his act or he won’t be spending Christmas with his son," an insider told the paper.

"She sees it as the ultimate punishment for Pete."

Pete, 27, was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs and released on bail earlier this month.

Two other occupants of the car Pete was driving at the time were also arrested on suspicion of drug possession.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said all three were released from Bethnal Green police station pending analysis of "substances recovered".

They must return in December.

Biography

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago we didn’t even know who Pete Doherty was now that not a day goes by when another entry to the PD catalogue of disasters is published in the tabloids.

A long and drawn out battle with drugs, an especially fiery relationship with Croydon’s favourite daughter and any number of bust ups and arrests has made the singer/songwriter one of Britain’s most recognisable faces (all be it a screwed up, sweaty zombie face).

Born on March 12 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland and living at various times in Liverpool, Shepherd’s Bush, Coventry, Dorset, Cyprus and Russia, Pete Doherty first came to the public’s attention as one half of the singing songwriting duo who fronted Britain’s must see band, The Libertines, who kick started the country’s new garage rock scene in 2002/03.

Debauched backstage shenanigans and frantic but brilliant shows saw The Libertines hit the headlines time and time again and their debut album, Up The Bracket, shot up the charts. However, the band’s success was to be short lived and numerous problems, between Pete and the rest of the band (specifically with best friend Carl Barat - the pair met when they became flatmates in Stoke Newington) saw them part ways but not before Pete hit the headlines for drink and drug problems which caused him to steal from his bandmates to feed his habit.

It was around this time that Lisa Moorish gave birth to Doherty’s child, Astile but, rather than settling down Pete carried on taking heroin, selling his ’My Drug Hell’ stories to any and every tabloid to pay for his out of control habit before being put in to several rehab clinics (including a Thai monastery), none of which have changed his ways.

Nonetheless he has managed to forge a career on his own, first working with Wolfman on For Lovers then forming Babyshambles, initially as a way to make money for.you guessed it! Now trying to get clean with the aid of Naltroxene after an arrest for assault, which resulted in some jail time as well as a curfew and constant supervision Pete is reportedly set to marry supermodel Kate Moss.
