Pete Doherty’s Not Scared About Death

Many now fear ousted Libertines singer Pete Doherty is heading down the same road to oblivion as Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain who committed suicide after battling chronic heroin addiction. “I’m not scared about death,” Doherty tells The Sunday Mirror in his first interview since flying back from Thailand eight days ago. “I don’t care if everyone says I’m going to die if I carry on taking drugs. I’m more terrified for others – my mum and friends who are worrying themselves over me. Sometimes I’m convinced I do want to be free from the drugs – but I don’t feel a lot of people’s worries justify it.”
