Pete Doherty rejects junkie mates

Troubled rocker Pete Doherty, is so desperate to beat his addiction he banned his junkie mates from a festival he was appearing at reports Daily Mirror.

The 27-year-old was on a special licence from The Priory clinic where he's being treated for his crack and heroin addictions.

Pete and his minders were determined to keep his junkie mates arms length. The Babyshambles frontman, who thanked the Priory on stage for letting him out, had given security advance warning that his pals may try to get in.
