Russia with his poetic stories. But this was a far cry from what was in store for the rocker after he ditched the countryside and moved to London, where he found himself filling graves in Willesden Cemetry.The I Don't Love Anyone hitmaker has had his fair share of controversies with drugs, which have been well documented over the course of his career.Pete has been arrested for several offences arising from drug use, including drunk driving, car theft and driving with a suspended licence.

He has previously pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine before being in and out of rehab facilities.Pete has been open about his habits, including the fact he once worked as a drug dealer to fund his addiction.In his official biography penned by Pete Walsh, Pete said: "I was working in a bar, selling drugs, working on a building site, writing poetry in the graveyard shift at The King's Head - and I was wanking off old queens for like £20."He added: "I remember once being taken back to this mews house in Chelsea, right old f**king badger he was. "It was a bit daft actually, as he slept, I locked him in his room, tied a pair of trousers over his head and nicked all these American dollar bills out of his drawer."He's probably still there, with an erection, listening to Classic FM radio."Pete has over 20 drug offences under his belt and has even been arrested on March 19, 2010, for suspicion of supplying controlled drugs and was subsequently bailed until April of the same year.Speaking to NME this year, Pete said he had "been clean since December 2019."The late EastEnders actress, June Brown who ran a charity for people fighting addiction even flew Pete to the Thamkrabok rehab clinic in Thailand to beat.
