Pete Doherty will have his personal diaries published next year, according to a publishing group.

The journals tell the tale of Doherty's career and his renowned drug problems, as well as the singer's relationship with Kate Moss.

They will include drawings and poems by Doherty, as well as photographs from his journals. Orion Publishing Group will print the diaries, which will be out in March 2007.

Ian Preece, Orion's commissioning editor, remarks: "Some of it is quite funny. But some of it is very, very dark."
