Babyshambles' frontman Pete Doherty has been filmed taking heroin in his Wiltshire home on Friday (November 2).

The Sun newspaper has posted video footage, taken on a cameraphone, on their website.

In the video, Doherty crouches on the floor of his home the morning after the MTV Europe Music Awards, holding a needle in his mouth.

He then prepares a dose of heroin on a spoon and injects himself.

On the evening before the incident was filmed, Doherty had spoken to NME.COM, confessing that staying clean had been difficult, explaining that he was “mourning for an armful”.

Its a load of shit.
In the Sun Video Pete has magically lost his tattoo bearing 'Astile', on his neck. Why is he a stone lighter? And his hair grows rather quickly in this video.

Its an old video, probably from a dealer who got shoved off by Peter and now wants payback.

I presume The Suns numerous lawyers have looked into this video - How can they be 100% sure when this video was taken. Its not the best quality recording but i can see his ASTILE tattoo on his neck which would suggest this video is from some time ago... Hope So Anyway

THE SUN,ha, the most upstanding,honest paper around,or not.And i'm sure the high quality camera phone caught a high res video of Pete,or not.I wouldn't at all be surprised if the sun made a fake video,just to sell more stories on Pete,to sell their seedy piece of crap paper for idiots with no real brain and no idea of what Pete's talents are and what hes about,like his amazing GCSE''s and A levels and his poetic and musical talents.They all talk about how he should be a good role model like he worked for blue peter or something, not like hes in a band,not like hes in the music industry with a history of drug taking.Far as I'm concerned hes never directly harmed anyone while taking drugs,hes only done psychical harm to himself. As long as he turns up to gigs and performs well and Babyshambles are all good and well then Pete's good.

boring. This soap opera has been boring ever since day one. Let him crash on his own and stop giving him press space. He'll never get better or truly hit rock bottom until he sees that people care about his MUSIC and not his cliched lifestyle.

i'm gutted by this news,but it just goes to show that at every corner people are mindlessly stabbing doherty in the back just as he seemed to suggest in the song "unbilotitled" Really thought pete had given up this time. I hope it's not too late.
