Pete Doherty looks happy and healthy as The Libertines star showcases his trimmer frame while shopping for dog food in Glasgow
Pete Doherty looked happy and healthy as he showcased his trimmer frame while doing a food shop in Glasgow on Thursday.
The Libertines frontman, 45, appeared to be in high spirits as he strolled around the town centre ahead of his record signing and gig at Glasgow Barrowlands.
He stepped out in a blue Nike France 2024 Home football shirt for the outing, teamed with a a black blazer and tailored trousers.
The singer completed his look with a pair of trainers and a grey fedora hat, as he toted around his shopping in a Tesco bag, with his shopping including dog food for his beloved pooch Gladys.
It comes after Pete referred to himself as ‘a bit of a glutton’ in February when he revealed he had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes – which causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high.

The now-sober star has always been open about his prolific battles with drug addiction, including crack and heroin.
While he has given up drugs, Pete admitted his diet hasn’t been great and he eats a lot of ‘cheese and sugar’.
Speaking to The Guardian’s Saturday Magazine in February, he said: ‘I gave up the main poisons and my health improved. Then you get told alcohol and cheese and sugar are just as bad and you were healthier when you were on heroin.
Pete then went on to call himself ‘a bit of a glutton’.
‘It’s not a joke,’ he said. ‘I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. And at the moment I’m lacking the discipline to tackle cholesterol.’
Pete previously told documentary-maker Louis Theroux he was ‘a very sick man’ for his Louis Theroux Interviews series.
Due to his former lifestyle, the musician admitted he doesn’t see himself living long and said that he thinks ‘death is lurking’.
He has been off hard drugs for three years, but said he still drinks and was seen swigging rum and chain smoking in the Theroux interview.

The film Peter Doherty: Stranger In My Own Skin shows the extent of his horrific drug addiction, his pained performances at the height of his illness
As well as hitting screens with the legendary documentarian, he is also the subject of a film focused around his demons, which hit cinemas last year.
Peter Doherty: Stranger In My Own Skin shows the extent of his horrific drug addiction, his pained performances at the height of his illness and also contains film of him with his friend and lover Amy Winehouse.
The documentary was shot by his wife Katia de Vidas over a decade, and in upsetting scenes he is seen smoking drugs and writhing in the aftermath.
He is also shown tying a tourniquet around his arm just before injecting heroin, before scenes shoot to him shouting at a crowd of adoring fans: ‘On the one hand, thank you, on the other hand… f**k you’.
In other chaotic moments he is also shown setting various things on fire.
Speaking in the film, he says: ‘Hard drugs entered my life and slowly, slowly, and then very quickly, took control.’
He took heroin for the first time in 2002 when he was just 23, yet the addiction didn’t fully take hold until he found himself sweating and sick after a journey to Japan.
