Kate Moss: "Pete has a death wish"

British model Kate Moss has confessed that she dumped rocker Pete Doherty because "he had a death wish".

Just as the Pete Doherty / Kate Moss romance was coming to an end, 33-year-old Kate became convinced the Babyshambles rocker planned to follow in the footsteps of his rock 'n' roll idols and die young - after she discovered his will.

A source close to the former couple is quoted by British newspaper "The Daily Express" as saying: "Everyone thinks Kate ended it with Pete after pictures came out of him taking another woman home.

"But that's not the reason - the real reason is because of Pete's death wish. Kate found a will he has recently written because he thinks his time will be up soon.

"She believes he wants to carve a place in rock 'n' roll history as one of the legendary hellraisers such as Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious and Jimi Hendrix, who all died in their prime."

Moss was said to be even more infuriated with Pete, because he told his family about his will, yet kept her in the dark.

The source added: "She was livid because, when she confronted him, it came out that he'd told his family about it but not her.

"It really was the last straw. Kate's no angel and can forgive a lot of things but one thing she won't do is watch him die."

Before the split, Kate & Pete wrote a song together, which will feature on the new Babyshambles album. The new song is called 'You Talk'.

Pete said: "I wrote that with Kate sat in bed. I was just trying to impress her and in the end she changed a lot of the words and it found its way on the album."
