Pete Doherty Finally Recognised As Musician....

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty admits he's finally experiencing the thrill of making music - now people realise he's a serious artist.

Newly drug-free Doherty is blaming his addiction for scuppering his credibility as a singer/songwriter.

Doherty - whose drug habit forced him to leave former band The Libertines in 2004 - is currently working on his first solo album, due for completion later this year (08).

He says, "I'm only now starting to enjoy making music - I'm only just starting to be allowed to.

"When people get us into a room together now, they actually treat us like musicians".

Meanwhile the troubled rocker Pete Doherty delighted a young fan and her family after performing at her birthday for just $200 (#100).

The Babyshambles frontman agreed to the mini-gig after he was asked by the girl's father to appear at the bash, during which he performed a set comprising several songs, according to reports.
