Doherty was rowing with friends on Loch Lomond shortly after performing at the Live festival when their boat sprung a leak.

Speaking about the incident, Doherty's manager, Adrian Hunter, said: “We lost an oar and sprang a leak.”

Doherty was playing a solo show at the festival, which also featured performances from Sex Pistols and Groove Armada.

  • No, it would have been funny if Pete had died. All those years of drug abuse and then he goes and dies in a rowing boat.
