On April 9th Peter Doherty will release a new song The Day The Baron Died, which can be preordered here https://peterdoherty.orcd.co/tdtbd
Peter says of The Day the Baron Died: “I always thought it was a weird jazz number, with a silly, catchy little melody. It’s a kind of homage to [John Lennon’s] ‘Instant Karma’, not the lyrics but the weird off time drum fill in the chorus. And I’m not gonna explain what the song’s about because I’m working on a follow up!”
