Doherty claims to be "the new Lennon"

Pete Doherty has claimed that he is "the new Lennon" as well as professing that he is his generation's most important rock star.

Gigwise.com reports that Doherty made his announcement to press after a Babyshambles show at a porn club in Austria.

The singer is quoting as saying: “The new Lennon — I like that. Honestly, I am the most important rock star now. And you will hear lots of great songs from me in the near future.”

Also on the cards seems to be a wedding to Kate Moss. "We are going to marry," Doherty promised. "It’s going to happen at a Scottish castle somewhere between September and November. A posh Scottish castle. That’s gonna be so cool.”
