Doherty: 'I will die if I stay on drugs'
Troubled rocker Pete Doherty is convinced he will die unless he is able to wean himself off his dependency on drugs.
The Babyshambles frontman was pictured on camera injecting himself with heroin after a performance at the MTV European Music Awards earlier this month - despite earlier claiming he had kicked his drug habit.
A worried pal has given British newspaper The Sun excerpts of Doherty's diary in attempt to help the 28-year-old recover.
Doherty writes: "If I had not been chemically dependent my life would have been extremely manageable. No jail, no rehab, normal functioning friendships and relationships and a lucrative, respectable career.
"I would probably own a house, a driving licence, and a better reputation. If I don't pack-in drugs, particularly crack and heroin, I am likely to either die, go mad or end up permanently institutionalised. I'm on a direct
course for all four."
The pal adds: "I want this in the public domain because I want Pete to remember how determined he was to get clean and stay clean."
