Recidivist rocker Pete Doherty says he's sorry for taking heroin again after claiming he was clean. His record label released the following statement on his behalf:
Doherty would like to apologize 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.
Come on - Pete's sorry to everyone that he took heroin? He couldn't care less what anyone thinks. The thing he's sorry for is that he was dumb enough to be photographed taking the heroin, and unlucky enough for said photographs to wind up being published.
There's a reason people are skeptical when flat-out junkies like Pete say they're clean - it's because people like Pete are never clean. Even if they stop doing drugs, they're not clean. They can never start letting themselves think they're clean, cause that's when their brain says, "You can handle just a little Pete. You'll be okay." And then pretty soon they're right back where they started.
Of course Pete's not letting his little set-back stop him from continuing his music career. He'll be in rehab for a bit, then later this month it's off on a new tour. I'm sure their won't be any temptations on tour with a rock band.
