While inhaling a full English breakfast of black pudding, sausages, fried eggs, tomatoes, hash browns, field mushrooms, bacon, bircher meusli, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee, toast, black bread, pastries (Monday 12th) at his London Hilton suite in Upper St Islington, Peter confided that with his new album finally in the post-production stages he is looking forward to returning to his former great love - spoken word poetry - and is planning events to be staged during the near future in the U.K. and abroad.
He spoke of a new commercial venture in Paris involving gallery space, merchandising and retail also confirming that a prime location has been secured.
Among other plans, the upbeat artist, writer and musician has scheduled a trip to South-East Asia for a renewed rehab stint to follow up the treatment undergone at Chiang-Mai's Cabin during July 2012.
On the literary front Peter has submitted a draft manuscript of his Chiang-Mai journal to appraise for publication - the first prose offering from the former English literature undergraduate since the barely legible but undeniably profuse facsimile manuscript formatted "Books of Albion" ably edited from an accumulation of journals by Earl Proud for Ian Preece at Orion Books all of seven years ago in 2005. The scrawling handwritten text demanded close and dedicated scrutiny but rewarded the effort with occasional luminous elegance, sometimes muddled but lit with shafts of confessional lucidity. There is likely to be a keen interest in new written output from this frustratingly complicated intellect.
In the light of endlessly disparaging press attention to narcotic indulgence and dubious associations the undeniably gifted author is obscured and paradoxically diminished by achievements as artist, poet, showman, musician, songwriter, film actor, fashion designer, menswear model, adoptive Frenchman and flaneur.
He went on to confirm recent press speculation and talk of his hopes to wed long term friend and lover Irinia Lazarinu. Known as Rene, Irinia Lazarinu is a successful, actress, singer and model as well as long term associate of Peter's former amour propre, Kate Moss.
In 2010 "Rene" arranged for Doherty to travel to New York to appear in a charity concert organised by Yoko Ono, however after a lengthy interview and altercation with a number of U.S. Immigration officials the singer was refused a temporary visa and returned to the U.K.
[a transcript of the interview has been retained by P.D.L.E.N.U.D.s for future publication]
No firm date for the nuptuals has been fixed but clearly the comforts and delights of a settled family existence beckon.
He appeared healthier and more positive than he has seemed for some time and was enthusing about the "Garageband" app on his Apple iPad which he has been using to work on an extensive track-list of new songs.
Peter was similarly unable to confirm or deny that any further Libertines shows in 2013 have been scheduled but indicated that his management were still holding discussions on the subject and that in the wake of his album's release he was expecting to be "fully engaged" in every sense over the coming year.

NO MORE BLOOD-PAINTINGS
According to The Chiang-Mai Diaries while in treatment at The Cabin, Chiang-Mai Peter traveled with a member of staff to a nearby monastery where a stern-faced monk advised him that he should desist any longer from painting with his blood...
"such things do not go un-noticed"
consequently Peter has decided to heed the advice and will carry on making art in other less contentious media and as a result the supply of the notorious and controversial artworks will end - For information on remaining blood-paintings still available - contact this site.

| "In for a penny, in for a pound ..." |
A quantity of the limited edition numbered fine-art silk-screen prints of the painting - "In for a penny, in for a pound ..."...." remain available for sale at the remarkably low price of £250.00 plus £10.00 postage and packing. The original painting was created in Whitechapel in 2005 and is on loan to the Hackney Empire Theatre. It measures 19" x 19" and depicts the musician onstage before a packed audience. In addition to being numbered from 1-274 each print bears the stamp on the reverse of the Atelier in Berlin where they were printed to the highest possible standards. Each print has been individually signed by the artist in his blood and comes with a letter of provenance. It can be collected in person from Whitechapel by appointment (call 07958607408) or paid for using PayPal or direct bank transfer. Dispatched within 3 working days in a strong protective cardboard tube the print will be sent by insured, trackable post and will make an ideal Christmas present to fans of Peter Doherty, lovers of fine-art or indeed of the theatre where Charlie Chaplin, Harry Houdini and other legendary names have, over the years performed.
