British indie rocker Pete Doherty says he is suffering from diabetes. “I’m a glutton. This is no joke. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,” said the 44-year-old in an interview with the Guardian over the weekend. At the moment, however, he lacks the discipline to get his cholesterol levels under control.
Doherty, who is also the singer of indie bands The Libertines and Babyshambles and makes music elsewhere, has been in the headlines for drugs and alcohol in the past. The ex-boyfriend of model Kate Moss (50) also works as a painter. In 2022 he exhibited his works of art in a retrospective in Berlin. According to the Guardian article, the musician lives with his family in northern France.
