Controversial singer Pete Doherty is due to appear in court to face a possible jail sentence for drug and motoring offences.
The Babyshambles frontman was arrested in High Street, Kensington, west London, in May and subsequently pleaded guilty to driving illegally while in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis.
He was arrested again in August over allegations he had broken bail conditions by possessing drugs at Staffordshire's V Festival, where his band had played hours earlier.
But Doherty, 28, walked free on a technicality when police failed to bring him before the courts within a 24-hour legal timeframe.
A fortnight earlier, the musician had been warned to kick his drug problem or face a prison term, and District Judge Davinder Lachhar said he may be jailed at this, his latest hearing, at West London Magistrates Court, subject to pre-sentence reports.
It was Judge Lachhar who, after Doherty kept a court waiting for more than two hours, threatened to issue a warrant for his arrest in July.
But the troubled star eventually arrived moments later, looking slightly dishevelled in his trademark trilby hat and open necked black shirt, before pleading guilty to the six charges.
Doherty has appeared in court on a number of drug offences over the past year and was praised by an east London judge in April for "more than co-operating" in his struggle to beat his addiction.
The singer, who enjoyed a high-profile relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, has undergone a stomach implant to help him kick the habit.
