The Libertines: Boyz On The Band

Was the recent story about you working as rent boys true?
Pete: "Yeah. It's in this magazine (gestures to a copy of a glossy gay magazine with their faces on the cover). It was always my ambition to be on the cover of a free gay magazine."

Pete Doherty in a newly published old interview in The Guardian online to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Up The Bracket. 
His claim to have been a rent boy - though admirable (and he's clearly being ironic, here) is not true, but hooray for journalistic credulity. 
Here's the original interview.

PS This was done under the great editorship of David Hudson. Boyz is a magazine now sadly shriveled to nothing.
