Pete Doherty's ex found dead

Bonito · 28-01-2010 3:12pm #1

Sisters boyf has just come in from Dublin. On the massive TV screen they have in Connolly station there was a news cast that Pete Doherty was found dead. It's in fact his ex girlfriend. The last line particularly hits home.

An ex-girlfriend of rocker Pete Doherty has been found dead from a suspected drug overdose.
Robin Whitehead was found dead aged 27 at a flat in London, where Doherty used to live.
She is part of the Goldsmith family and had previously made a film about Doherty, 30, who recently escaped prison for attending court in possession of drugs.
A pal said: 'Robin had problems with heroin over the years but Pete and his circle sucked her in even further.
'There is an attitude among that crowd that heroin is somehow cool. The only thing cool about it is the morgue you end up in.'

Famous person we don't know or like possibly dead - RIP, aww, too soon etc.
Non-famous person vaguely connected to amous person we don't know or like possibly dead - don't waste our time making us read words.

Yours with continuing love and respect,

Chicken dippers are bad for you, and so is heroin.

This guy's an even bigger waste of space than Sid Vicious. At least Sid Vicious was slightly attractive.

Apparently.

Doherty got fined the other day for having heroin on his person while in court for a drink/drive related hearing.....you couldn't make it up. You don't have to.

People die of heroin overdoses all the time. Someone in my area does every few weeks, why is this one in the news? Pete Doherty isn't even high profile, never mind his ex girlfriend

That's down to people's love of chicken dippers and a lack of any decent threads in AH.

Reminds me of an anti-drug talk I got in secondary school. It didn't focus on hard drugs like heroine or cocaine etc but more so to alcohol. The speaker had news paper articles with him. One with a headline of someone dying from taking too many ecstasy. The other had, buried within the pages of the paper, a story of 3 young lads dying from alcohol poisoning. We were all asked how many people used heroine. Nobody put their hand up. How many in here drink? Nearly everyones hand went up. We were then asked by the speaker why is some junkies life more important than 3 lives of lads as young as yourselves. Nobody had a proper answer. The speaker himself was an ex drug user who got himself clean. He had the right attitude IMO. Targeted the drugs that was relevant to us using as teens and ignored the bigger drugs. All he done was lightly educate us about what there is out there, what's in them and what they do and experiences he had with them and advised us to stay well away from them.

Rather than complain about it, how about you post a "decent" thread.

I get tired of this bullsh1t, and it's usually from people who make absolutely zero effort to judge the man on his music, but just see "OMG DRUGS HES A WASTE OF SPACE".

The fact is, he is one of the greatest and most influential musicians of the past decade. Everything he's done with libertines, babyshambles and solo has been amazing.

If you can watch this and still tell me he's a "waste of space", and not a very talented musician, then you are deluded.

Why do the media always have to bring it back to pete's drug problem, they are practically blaming him for this girl O.Ding, these people in the media only know him for his heroin problems, Pat Kenny couldnt even name one of his songs.

Everyone has different tastes. If I were to dislike that I'm not deluded it just means his music doesn't appeal to me so it'd be no loss to me if he were to disappear TBH

I know but you can't argue that he's a "waste of space" and hasn't made substantial contributions to the world of music.

I don't like listening to mozart or beethoven, their music doesn't appeal to me, but christ they were fantastic musicians.

I wont argue against that my friend

Admittedly in whole, yes, he has considerable contributions to the music world. It's just a pity he couldn't kick drugs and turn out to be the true musician he had the capabilities of being. To myself he means nothing but others he can be everything. Suppose one mans trash is another mans treasure

I agree 1000% on this. They are trying to put on trial French's dealers - do you ever see them doing that for nobodies found dead of heroin. God no...

Another example of two societies in this country... One for the wealthy and famous - and the other for the joe soaps...

Also agree with this. Made me sick to my teeth the amount of publicity her death got compared to Mr/Ms. Joe Soap. She was nothing special IMO. I have breezed past girls in the street infinitely better looking than her!

Now now, he is a junkie scumbag but he ain't talentless by a long run. His music mightened be your bag, but to others he's great. Could say the same for countless musicians, all the best ones are junkies. But who am I to not appreciate their music if it pleases my ears.

Remove the Kate Moss debacle and the drug use attention seeking behaviour and no one would have probably heard of the Twat!
