Troubled rocker Pete Doherty is under investigation in Germany after the singer was snapped allegedly taking drugs with two fans in a car in Cologne this weekend.

Doherty, who is touring the country with band Babyshambles, will be questioned by police over the pictures which show him smoking a suspicious substance through a bottle.

The incident is the latest in a long line of Doherty drug scandals.

In his native Britain the rocker has been in and out of court since last December, when he was arrested for drug possession.

Most recently, he was taken into custody following the publication of pictures allegedly showing him injecting a drug into the arm of an apparently unconscious female fan.
