Pete Doherty has spoken out about his battle to stay off drugs, after a court ordered him to go to rehab.
"After years of entrenched drug abuse you have a mourning period. I know it's a bit sad, but I'm in mourning," he told the NME.
Doherty’s spokesperson has refused to comment on tabloid photos of the Babyshambles star injecting ‘heroin’. The Sun printed a series of images taken on Friday with a camera phone.
Babyshambles start a UK arena tour on November 22.
