Let $S$ be a projective surface with a morphism $S\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1$ whose fibers are either smooth $\mathbb{P}^1$'s or the union of two smooth $\mathbb{P}^1$'s intersecting in a point.

Is it true that $S$ is either smooth or if it is singular then its singularities are rational double points?

Singularities of surfaces fibered in rational curves
