Morrissey: 'Doherty can't cope'
21/09/2005 - 09:27:08Former The Smiths frontman Morrissey has hit out at the way the British media trivialises Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty's drug-taking.
Doherty - who is dating supermodel Kate Moss - has been through several unsuccessful spells in rehab in a bid to beat addictions to crack cocaine and heroin, and Morrissey feels he should be helped, not encouraged.
The singer says: "I'm not sure he can cope. There's a desperation to him. I sense he's on thin ice.
"It's all very giggle-worthy for NME (British music magazine) to report two hours after a gig that he's in a crack house in Glasgow (Scotland) but I don't find that amusing."
