The Libertines frontman Pete Doherty will take his drugs counsellor on tour with the band when they hit the road in support of their new album.

Doherty’s battles with drug abuse have been long documented, with the musician finishing rehabilitation treatment at the Hope Rehabilitation Centre in Thailand earlier this year.

The frontman’s counsellor, Dylan Kerr, will accompany Doherty and co on tour to “Mexico and beyond” in November, according to The Sunday Telegraph. A press representative for The Libertines has additionally confirmed the news to NME.
