Pete Doherty Risks Toe Amputation from Diabetes

Pete Doherty, the 45-year-old frontman of The Libertines, has revealed that he is at risk of having his toes amputated due to complications from type 2 diabetes, a condition he was diagnosed with last year. Doctors have warned him to stay off his feet to avoid amputation risks, leading him to perform sitting down during his European tour. Despite giving up drugs, he struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, admitting that his diet, including cheese and sugar, might be as detrimental as his past heroin use. Doherty has been open about his health challenges, expressing that he was 'healthier on heroin' and acknowledging his lack of discipline in managing cholesterol. His candid admissions come amidst ongoing performances in Europe, where he has been seen relying on walking aids due to his condition.
