The Libertines "Don't Look Back into the Sun" 2003

...That August, around the time the Butler-produced single "Don't Look Back into the Sun" reached number 11 on the U.K. Singles chart -- their highest placement to date -- Doherty pled guilty, and also confessed to addictions to heroin and crack cocaine...
...In September, as a deluxe edition of Up the Bracket was released, he was sentenced to six months in jail. However, his sentence was reduced to two months on appeal, and with time off for good behavior, he was released in early October. Later that month, the complete Libertines lineup performed at the Rough Trade 25th Anniversary show. In November, Doherty played two shows in his own apartment that featured a mix of Libertines and Babyshambles songs. The Libertines closed out 2003 with a string of sold-out dates at the London Forum. Though "Don't Look Back into the Sun" was their only release that year, they won the NME Award for Best Band. - exerpt from the Biography by Heather Phares
