Peter Perrett (born Peter Albert Neil Perrett on 8 April, 1952 in King's College Hospital, Camberwell, London) is an English singer-songwriter. He fronted the late 1970s English band, The Only Ones. Perrett lives in Forest Hill, South East London.

Perrett re-emerged briefly between 1994 and 1996 fronting a new band called The One which released an EP called "Cultured Palate" and a full length album "Woke up Sticky". Hardly anything was heard of Perrett until he appeared on stage with The Libertines in April 2004. Peter also appeared in concert with his sons Jamie and Peter, Jr. and their band Love Minus Zero. Long hiatuses in his music career have been ascribed to his enduring struggles with heroin and crack cocaine addiction.

The Only Ones have reformed for a series of UK gigs in April and June 2007. More details on John Perry MySpace [http://www.myspace.com/johnmperry John Perry MySpace] . View the Manchester Academy setlist on Maudlin Rich Live Journal [http://maudlinrich.livejournal.com Maudlin Rich Live Journal] .
