Pete Doherty has admitted to a drugs relapse after the MTV awards last week and has pledged to go back into rehab.
The Sun uncovered a video this week showing the troubled Babyshambles star injecting what looked like heroin into his arm.
His loyal fans failed to believe it was him, but now an official statement from his label EMI has confirmed that Doherty was tempted back on drugs.
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'."
Although there is no official word yet, many are speculating that the rehab stint may affect Babyshambles’ UK tour dates this month.
A certain tabloid has launched a fierce campaign this week to get Pete put behind bars. After the police said they would launch an investigation, it seems they may get their way.
