Bro certainly has lived life.. no half measures.. I'm surprised he is still standing

[stardust]

For everyone who’s making fun, the guy is clearly saying his an addict, does not matter what it is, drugs, alcohol or food he gets addicted.

[waynegoldpig]

And the irony is that people will think worse of him for being obese than for being a skinny junkie.

[birch]

So basically he’s planning to fight off the grim reaper with a stick. Should be interesting

[bodhiswayze]

Omfg. I’m so embarrassed to say that I went down the EXACT same route. Horrendous depression-drugs-gorgeous food. It’s an awful thing to go through, usually brought on by grief (I lost my son) please don’t judge us…

[FragranceGame]

He looks like a young guy in costume as an old guy

[NoudlePipW]

Still has a lovely smile and eyes, bless him

[craigdempsey]

I hope the people who idolised this guy 20 years ago didn't follow the same path.

Doherty had substance misuse issues and the media celebrated him for it in the mid - late noughties. The Libertines were the last really original guitar band that the UK produced. Plus the viral live gigs in their flat - game changer ‘can’t stand me now’ great track

[boydc]

This guy has battered it big time, he’s holding his heart when he says it

[ScottCooper-ifdr]

"I've battered it haven't I" 😂😂😂😂😂

[skrollerbarTV]

Plus what he’s saying is true - diabetes and cholesterol can impact you suddenly especially late 30s and in your 40s.

Gods looking down on you Brother x I wish you and your gorgeous family health x

[illbelonggone]

"How's the stick going to help ?"
"Well we'll find out"

<3

[backable]

The worst part is he actually looks healthy in comparison to his younger self 😂

[garryjames]

How’s the Stick gonna help🦯 ??
We’ll find out when push comes to shove 😂😂😂
Love it
