The book will be out this year

Pete Doherty's Babyshambles are set to be the subject of an official book documenting the story of the band so far.

'Babyshambles: The Official Story', written by Spencer Honniball, will be released later this year by publisher Casell Illustrated. A final release date is yet to be set.

Matthew Clayton from Casell Illustrated claimed to The Bookseller that the book would be "the most exciting rock 'n' roll story of the last five years," adding, "If you are looking at music biographies, you couldn't get a more dramatic or outrageous rock 'n' roll story."

Honniball has previously written the programme notes for Babyshambles' UK arena tour last year.
