Pete Doherty, frontman of The Libertines and Babyshambles, and one of British rock’s most captivating figures, joins The Michael Anthony Show for an unfiltered, wide-ranging conversation.

In this rare sit-down, Pete opens up about the music behind his new solo album 'Felt Better Alive', produced by Liam Gallagher’s guitarist Mike Moore, and reflects on how he balances loyalty to longtime fans with the drive to create something entirely new.

We dive into fatherhood, fear, hope, and life after heroin — as well as his thoughts on Trump, chaos, and keeping sane on tour. Pete also shares stories from a surreal career: duetting with Elton John, and a strange night in Russia involving Vladimir Putin.

Alongside the chat, Pete performs an exclusive live set featuring three new songs and the Babyshambles classic “Albion.”

He also talks founding his own label, Strap Originals, and the challenges that come with creating a label centred around a genuine love of music.

If you’re into real, raw conversations with icons who still have something to say , and sing, this one’s for you.
