Who lives in a house like this? An unlikely INXS fan
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Who lives in a house like this? There's dirty laundry all over the floor, piles of records strewn around, life drawings hanging in the bathroom and war medals displayed on the walls. Why, it's Pete Doherty, of course, the free-spirited scamp. In a video recorded for NME's website, the 33-year-old musician gives viewers a tour of his cramped Paris apartment.
These days, Pete's really embraced the French culture (it's just so bohemian, isn't it?) He sports a little Tricolour in his trademark hat, sings a bit of Françoise Hardy and picks up books such as Bonjour Tristesse (never mind that it's the sort of book that teenage girls read, it's French, so it's cool.) Fortunately, there's no blood on the walls, but it's covered in antique-looking trinkets (ie crap).
Pete also shows off some of his cool record collection. He's got everything you'd expect: Neil Young, Tom Waits, Miles Davis, Nico, Leonard Cohen. There's an awkward moment when Pete realises an INXS album has sneaked into his pile (definitely not bohemian or French) but he manages quickly to cover that up. Perhaps the most surprising thing of all is that Pete has flatmates. Wonder if he found them on Gumtree?
