Singer gets set to shock with new exhibition

Pete Doherty is to stage an exhibition of his artworks – painted in his own blood.

The Babyshambles singer will exhibit the 'Bloodworks' collection at London's Bankrobber Gallery for a month from May 15.

The show will feature 14 original paintings and prints that Doherty created using pen, pencil, and his own blood, according to The Observer.

Fans will be able to pick up the ultimate piece of memorabilia – prints of the works signed in his blood – for up to £2,500.

The works include various self-portraits alongside works like 'Number 3 on the Twos', which portrays a prisoner lying on his bed in a cell.
