Pete Doherty let out of jail early

But the musician still faces charges after allegedly breaking into a shop in Germany.

CONTROVERSIAL MUSICIAN PETE Doherty has been let out of jail one month earlier than expected.

The Libertines and Babyshambles frontman was jailed in March for cocaine possession and expected to be released in August.

A message appeared on his official website, Letters from Albion, stating:

On this bright sunny morning Peter was released from prison and thanks everyone for their valued support whilst inside.

The NME reports that his manager Adrian Hunter posted on the forums of the website French Dog Blues to say Pete has been released and that “all good and peace and quiet shall now ensue”.

However the musician is still facing charges after allegedly breaking into a shop in Germany and stealing a guitar.

He could face five years in prison if convicted.

    The Guilty….98% on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s tonight’s tv sorted so. Beats RTE reruns anyway. Thanks for that!

    Another gem is Irish revenge thriller ‘Bad Day for the Cut’, in my opinion the most underrated movie on Netflix.

    @thomas mitchell: if you like sci fi, check out Love, Death and Robots. If you like drama, line of duty. But to be honest, I think Amazon Prime are doing a free month if you sign up with them. In your free month watch, The Boys (epic by the way), Sea-men (The grand tour crew do a one of special in boats), Fleabag.. comedy gold. The Terror.. very intense horror series set in the first expedition to the north Pole. And the best hangover series ever made, Parks and recreation.

    Watched the guilty would highly recommend it. Some one mentioned earlier 12 angry men type movie . And I couldn’t agree more . If that type of one room movie is you thing. Then check out the sunset ltd. or sus . Very similar type movies .

    “The Guilty”. Its subtitled, but doesn’t matter.
    Loved it cos it’s not soaps, or Strictly, or Fittest Family.
    A really well written one off.
