Pete DohertyÂ’s intimate journals detailing his music career, battle with drugs and brief, turbulent relationship with Kate Moss will be published next year, a British publishing house has announced.

The diaries of the 27-year-old Babyshambles frontman — including drawings, photos, poems and film reviews — have been culled from 20 volumes of his personal journals. They will be published in hardcover in March 2007, Orion Publishing Group Ltd. said Wednesday. Doherty’s writings chronicle his rise from anonymity to celebrity, said Orion commissioning editor Ian Preece.

“Some of it is quite funny,” Preece told reporters. “But some of it is very, very dark.” Doherty’s diaries date back to 1999, before he caught the attention of the media with the post-punk revival band The Libertines, now disbanded.
