Pete Doherty has apparently vowed to stay off the drugs and stick by Kate Moss and Babyshambles. The news comes in a statement that the Daily Mirror claims was "overheard" following one of the band’s shows in Ireland – Doherty’s first appearances since checking out of the Priory rehab clinic. He paid tribute to his girlfriend Moss, his bandmates and his fans for sticking by him and said his drug use has been reduced to alcohol. "I’m off the drugs and I’m determined to stay off them. I’m more healthy than I’ve been in years. The only drugs I’m on at the moment is a little bit of booze," he explained. "I’m going to do it for the lads and for Kate. We’ve been though a lot together, everyone has stood by me during my darkest moments. "It was torture for them, I know, they could have gone off and formed another band but they stuck with me. It’s payback time now. I have to stay clean for the band and the fans. At the moment I’m trying my best to keep away from other junkies and situations where there’s a lot of drugs. "I was really worried that I couldn’t be creative without the drugs but now I know that I can. I think I’m writing some of my best stuff yet. Our fans have been through a lot with me, too, but we’ve got a great EP coming out which we’re very excited about. And we’ve enough material ready for a great new album." The singer has also recently expressed similar sentiments on his website. "Do you think they’ve sown some seeds in me at that Priory gaff?" he states. "Expensive f***ing seeds, I fancy, although it could be cheaper than getting bang on it this autumn."
