Liam Gallagher has praised Pete Doherty, claiming that he is the future of bad boy rock.

"There is only one British hero right now - Pete Doherty," Breakingnews.ie quote Gallagher as saying.

"He lives the rock 'n' roll life - he's understood everything about that side of things. He doesn't give a monkey's about anything, does exactly what he wants to do. I admire his decadence. I completely recognise myself in him."
