Pete Doherty shares exciting career news as he details ‘ultimate fantasy’

Pete Doherty is gearing up to release a new solo album called Felt Better Alive before after heading on an intimate UK tour.

The Libertines star’s album is coming out in May via his own label, but in March through May, he will be performing intimate gigs in Newport, Newcastle, Deptford, Bristol, Watford, Catford, Oldham, Geneva, Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Berlin, Leipzig, Munich and Bruges.

In a recent interview, the singer opened up about his ‘ultimate fantasy moment’, which included fantasising about writing hit songs for Oasis, Blur and Pulp. He said: “My ultimate fantasy moment is like in that film Yesterday where he’s the only person to know The Beatles songs.

“Before that film was written and made, I used to have that fantasy when I was a kid. I’d be watching Top Of The Pops with Oasis, Blur and Pulp and would pretend I’d written the songs. That’s the whole thing about singing in front of the mirror with a hair brush, isn’t it? “

Speaking to NME, he added: “I took it to another level by imagining that these people had never been born, and that the rest of the world hadn’t heard the songs so I had to present them. ” Pete recently discussed the possibility of touring with Oasis’ Noel and Liam Gallagher – who shockingly reunited after years of feuding for a string of highly-anticipated concerts.

Pete, who also released music under the name Babyshambles, recently revealed that he would happily support Oasis in exchange for some tickets for his in-laws. The former Babyshambles star told The i Paper: “If Noel or Liam are reading this: maybe a ten-minute acoustic slot? Even before the doors open? ” Pete married his Puta Madres bandmate, Katia de Vidas, in 2021, and his in-laws are convinced that he’s able to secure tickets for the upcoming tour.

He explained: “Because I’m famous and in a band, they all presume I can get tickets. I said, to hold [the French family] at bay: ‘Oh, I might have a support slot at one of the gigs. ’ Which, of course, isn’t true. But that’s bought me some time. ” Pete even offered his services free of charge. He joked: “I’ll only charge travel expenses. I won’t even take a fee!

Meanwhile, last year, Cast and Richard Ashcroft were announced as the support acts for the upcoming Oasis tour.
