Macca declines Babyshambles invite

Paul McCartney reportedly turned down the offer of VIP tickets to a Babyshambles gig because he decided it "wasn't his thing". Macca reportedly met Pete Doherty during a joint magazine interview, and the Babyshambler invited the former Beatle to his band's gig at the Wembley Arena. One version of this story says Macca couldn't attend the gig because of previous commitments in the US, but my favourite version has a spokesman for the singer saying McCartney decline because he decided "going to a sweaty Babyshambles gig wasn't really his thing".
