Pete Doherty intends to continue working on Babyshambles' new album while he serves a 14-week prison sentence in Wormwood Scrubs.
The troubled singer, following several high-profile brushes with the law, was jailed last week for "breach of time-keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs".
But the star's Babyshambles colleagues have vowed to stand by him while he serves his time. The band are determined not to let Doherty's prison sentence affect work on their forthcoming third album, and are sending all of their recordings to Wormwood Scrubs so he can contribute.

According to drummer Adam Ficek says: "We will send Pete the first nine burns (recordings) so he can work on them in there. It will give him something to keep him occupied, keep him focused and remind him that outside we're all holding the fort for him. And also that as soon as he gets out it will be business as usual."
