"He is better known for his battle with drug addiction and his failed love affair with supermodel Kate Moss.
Rock star Peter Doherty has however demonstrated his softer side by donating memorabilia to a Moray-based children’s appeal.
A backstage pass signed by the Babyshambles and former Libertines frontman will be auctioned on eBay to raise money for Logan’s Fund.
The campaign was launched by Chris and Angela Main in March to raise money to send their three-year-old son Logan to the US for cancer treatment that was unavailable in the UK.
Sadly the little boy lost his battle with the rare form of childhood cancer known as Neuroblastoma in June.
His parents, of Clifton Road, Lossiemouth, have continued to raise awareness of Neuroblastoma and support families and children whose lives have been affected by the disease. More than £65,000 has been raised so far.
Last night, Logan’s Fund supporter Cameron Mackintosh said he had used his connection with the musician’s manager, Adrian Hunter, to secure the backstage pass for the auction.
Mr Mackintosh, of Sandyhillock, Elchies, raised more than £4,000 for Logan’s Fund with an 85-mile walk around the Isle of Man in June.
The 40-year-old said it was “a nice gesture” by Peter Doherty, adding: “Being able to auction the backstage pass for the fund will help further increase Neuroblastoma awareness and hopefully introduce more people to Logan's story.”
Last night, Mrs Main said she was also pleased to hear about the kindness shown by the singer.
“It was a really nice thing to do. For somebody as famous as him to be hearing about Logan and helping the fund is a great thing.” she said.

Logan, my beautiful little cousin. If only Pete had got to meet him,he would have just adored him, he touched everyones hearts. Although he was only 3, he had the biggest personality - a cheeky wee soul. Miss him everyday. Thanks Pete x
