According to reports Pete Doherty recently quoted the bible as he mixed crack cocaine with ammonia at a party in Scotland. A 'source' told the Daily Record: "Pete started to mix the drug with a big silver crucifix hanging around his neck. As he was doing it, he quoted a passage from the Bible, saying, 'You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church'". Quite what the relevance of the quote is passes me by.
I'm not one hundred percent sure when this happened. It might have been last May (so, not that recently) when the band were playing at Glasgow's Barrowlands, when a homeless man called David Cook reckons Babyshambles gave him £1,000 to buy drugs for them.
Cook told The People: "A member of the crew gave me money to buy heroin and cocaine. Pete shook my hand and thanked me for what I was doing. I was invited to join them backstage. There were lots of people there, most of whom were doing drugs. Pete refused to go on stage until the drugs were finished. He had to be dragged out."
Plus ca change, eh?
