London, March 14 (ANI): Pete Doherty was left in tears and had almost decided to abandon his band after a fans underwear prank during a gig.
The Babyshambles frontman revealed several years ago he had thrown himself at the Dundee crowd in Scotland when a fan got hold of his pants and fiercely pulled them upwards.
“The gig was going great, so I thought, ”I”ll dive in,” and this big Scotsman just grabbed hold of my pants and said, ”Cop a load of this, Doherty”. Those were his exact words, the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
“I hid in the tour bus crying. When they (my bandmates) found me I was crying my eyes out, going, ”The band’’s not working out. We should split up.”
Nobody believed what was wrong, and eventually I snapped, ”All right, I got a wedgie, OK?”” he added. (ANI)
