Troubled musician Pete Doherty has a “death wish”, according to The Who’s frontman Roger Daltrey.

Babyshambles frontman Doherty is currently residing at rehab clinic Clouds House, in Wiltshire, and will appear in court next month (October 2) to be sentenced for illegally driving while in possession of Class A drugs.

Speaking to The Sun, Daltrey declared: "There’s a bathroom floor waiting for him. He seems to have a death wish and that is so incredibly dull – to think that that’s a cool and exciting thing.

"I knew them all – Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, too many to list – and it's incredible to think they’ve all gone."

Daltrey added: "I don’t think it's any different today – it's a person's own personal journey. It's down to the individual and always has been."
