Doherty jailed for drugs offence
Pete Doherty has been jailed for six months after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine.
The 32-year-old, who was due to be playing Glasgow Barrowland on Friday, was arrested in January last year by police investigating the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
The controversial singer, of Camden High Street, north London, has twice been jailed before and has repeatedly admitted possession of class A substances.
Film-maker Miss Whitehead spent the last 10 days of her life creating a documentary about the controversial singer.
Doherty, of Marlborough, Wiltshire, said last year he was "shocked and saddened" by the death of Miss Whitehead, the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine.
Her mother, Dido Whitehead, is a cousin of Jemima Khan and Zac Goldsmith and her father is film-maker Peter Whitehead.
