Notorious drug-addled indie-rocker Pete Doherty has claimed that he’s ‘stopped injecting’ – as he aims to clean up his act after confirming a South African model’s claims that he was the father of her child.
The rocker is famous for his wild antics and his drug habits, which have landed him in jail on multiple occasions. But, now that he has new girlfriend Lindi Hingston, he’s told The Independent that it’s time he cleaned himself up – though it seems he hasn’t made any promises to stop snorting, smoking, bombing, inhaling or drinking as of yet.
“I've stopped injecting,” he said to the newspaper. “The only way I can see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit. When you're banging up all day you can't really have someone else in your life, especially if she's an English rose. I wouldn't let her touch anything. I just wouldn't.”
He continued on to talk about his surprise at Hingston’s decision to sell her baby story to the press. “"I'm really surprised she's done that [talked to a newspaper]. The little girl was two months premature. I said I'd try to be there for the birth. Yeah, she’s [the baby] mine. We're using the baby's blood in one of the pictures.”
Doherty only recently made his return to the music scene after spending some time away, which included a stint in prison for possession of class A drug cocaine.
