Pete Doherty has been released from jail having served just six weeks of a six-month sentence.The pasty-faced rocker was jailed in May after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine following an investigation into the death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
Despite the fact that it was his third stint behind bars the former Libertines frontman was freed early.
News of his release appeared on his website on Tuesday with an announcement that read: "On this bright sunny morning Peter was released from prison and thanks everyone for their valued support."
A friend described Doherty, who is thought to have an electronic tag and curfew, as "over the moon".
But his early release was slammed by anti-drugs campaigner Shielmor Twomey, who told The Sun: "It makes it worse for the family of Miss Whitehead. It is an insult."
