Published Monday, Feb 20 2006, 17:20 GMT | By Miriam Zendle
Babyshambles are restarting a tour cancelled due to Pete Doherty's arrest on drugs charges.
The band were forced to cancel dates in Newcastle, London, Glasgow and Bristol after Doherty's January arrest and subsequent conviction on seven charges of drug possession.
Babyshambles have a history of pulling out of concerts, having previously cancelled dates in Norwich and Coventry in October 2005, as well as deciding not to support Oasis in Southampton.
Doherty was sentenced to drug rehabilitation and community service for his drug possession, and has been warned he could face jail if he breaks the terms of the sentence. He told Channel 4 News: "[I'm] not that much of a junkie anyway...[I'll] start a drug-free life."
Babyshambles' tour starts at the Shepherd Bush Empire on Monday and finishes at the Manchester Academy on Sunday.
