Babyshambles' singer admits relapse
Babyshambles' Pete Doherty is set to go back to rehab after a relapse last week.
In an official statement, the singer said that he feels he has let himself and fans down.
It reads: "Peter Doherty would like to apologise to the medical staff, fans and wellwishers who have helped and encouraged his progress in fighting his addiction to heroin.
"His ongoing rehabilitation was a source of such pride to him that Peter and those closest to him thought that he was close to winning his personal battle with the drug. However, Peter sadly relapsed last week and is now looking to check himself back into a rehab clinic so that he can try to continue the hitherto excellent attempts he had made to break free of heroin.
"He realises that he has not only let himself down but has let down those who trusted and encouraged his efforts and he is filled with remorse for what he describes today as 'a stupid, stupid action for which I feel only shame'."
As previously reported, he was filmed taking heroin in his Wiltshire home on Friday (November 2) by The Sun.
The band were also due to perform on 'Later...With Jools Holland' last night (November 6), but pulled out.
Babyshambles' forthcoming arena tour dates will not be affected by Doherty's return to rehab.

Deadly Drink="Alcohol + EnergyDrinks"
College students often mix alcohol with energy drinks so that they can drink more and longer, researchers say, but the strategy can lead to more alcohol-related injuries, too.students who mixed alcohol and drinks like Red Bull had double the risk of being hurt or injured, requiring medical attention, driving with an intoxicated driver, being taken advantage of sexually, or taking advantage of another sexually.Its surprising that the risk of serious and potentially deadly consequences is so much higher for those who mixed energy drinks with alcohol, even if we adjust the amount of alcohol. Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced -- but not the drunkenness. They can't tell if they're drunk; they can't tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else. Mixing is more prevalent among males, whites, older students, intramural athletes, and fraternity/sorority members and pledges.
More Than A Million Americans Abuse Prescription Drugs
Nearly 1.3 million Americans 12 and older abuse prescription drugs and require treatment for their problem.Older adults, women, individuals in poor health and those who drink alcohol daily are most likely to develop a prescription drug habit. The researchers did not find a link between prescription drug abuse and use of illegal drugs like marijuana or cocaine.Seven percent of college students have used prescription stimulants for non-medical purposes over their lifetimes and 4 percent have used in the past year.The study also found that students who use prescription stimulants non-medically are more likely to abuse other substances such as alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine. Non-medical prescription stimulant users were over 20 times more likely to report cocaine use in the past year and over five times more likely to report driving after heavy drinking than college students who had not used prescription stimulants non-medically.
The study was supported by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Why do so many doctors smoke?
Doctors know better!!! They're exposed daily to the physical damage caused by smoking. 30% of doctors smoke regularly. Even they offer you to take one cigarette. So my question is what did they learn during their path of being a DOC(so called).
