{"product_id":"a-likely-lad","title":"A Likely Lad","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Doherty's is the last of the great rock 'n' roll stories - bad boy and public enemy. To his devoted fans, he is a cult hero, a modern-day Rimbaud. Musically, he has defined the past twenty years of indie rock with his sound, lyrics, lifestyle and aesthetic.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Since The Libertines rose to international fame, Doherty has proved endlessly fascinating. A whirlwind of controversy and scandal has tailed him ever since the early 2000s, so much so that all too often his talents as a songwriter and performer have been overlooked; for every award and accolade, there is a scathing review. Hard drugs, tiny gigs on the hoof, huge stadium shows, collaborations, obliterations, gangsters and groupies - Doherty has led a life of huge highs and incredible lows.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e With his wildest days behind him, Doherty candidly explores - with sober and sometimes painful insight - some of his greatest and darkest moments, taking us inside the creative process, decadent parties, substance-fuelled nights, his time in prison and tendency for self-destruction. With his trademark wit and humour, Doherty also details his childhood years, key influences, pre-fame London shenanigans, and reflects on his era-defining relationship with Libertines co-founder Carl Barat and other significant people in his life. There is humour, warmth, insight, baleful reflection and a defiant sense of triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e Published: 2022 in UK\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 336\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9781408715482\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 1408715481\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Doherty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43590539182346,"sku":"","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780141189178_87df8464-26bd-4fb4-8312-9267e0853220.jpg?v=1656168883","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/a-likely-lad","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
