Top man Mick Jones, Pete has been a fool but he knows that. Muchos shame on the tabloids for hammering someone who is an addict, which is an illness not something to be sneered at. His is just one in a long line of idols treading a similar path, Keith Richards, Ozzy et al are all objects of fun for their past excesses now so I just jope this hipocracy extends to Pete when he can finally get himself clean. Afterall he is not the bloody devil.

If Atlantic Record execs are planning on getting Estelles teeth straightened as stated above, surely they could push the boat out and give the girl a face-transplant. Would do her the world of good.
