Pete Doherty has admitted that he tried to commit suicide on the night of his 30th birthday earlier this year.

The Babyshambles singer celebrated his milestone with a party in Paris on March 12 and got through a bottle of vodka before trying to jump off his hotel roof.

He explains to Elle Magazine: "I had this bash in Paris and it was an absolute disgrace. I just made a bit of an idiot out of myself. I don't even know exactly what happened but I ended up trying to throw myself off the top of the hotel. I wasn't happy at all about being 30.

"I went through a bottle of vodka. They presented me with this cake and I pushed it in the chef's face who'd just made it for me.

"Then the chef and the security guards were chasing me around. I think I escaped unscathed.
