Blur frontman Damon Albarn has launched a scathing attack on singer Pete Doherty, slamming his wayward Live 8 performance and claiming he is overrated.
Albarn says he is considering starting a campaign to 'make Pete Doherty history' - because the troubled rocker's musical achievements do not justify his media hype.
Doherty has been a regular feature in British tabloid newspapers since quitting The Libertines last year, frequently giving tell-all interviews to the press about his drug problems and rocky relationship with supermodel Kate Moss.
And Albarn is amazed by the amount of attention Doherty receives, because his most recent band Babyshambles' sole single only got to number eight in the UK charts
Albarn fumes, "What does matter is that Babyshambles have only ever released one song - one song. People talk about this great talent, but there's nothing to him. He's a mess.”
Doherty dumped Babyshambles last weekend after only a year together.
