Roger Daltrey: Pete Doherty has a "death-wish"

"The Who" frontman Roger Daltrey has spoked about his fears of troubled singers Peter Doherty and Amy Winehouse, he believes that the pair could go down the same tragic route of his former band mates, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, who both died of drug overdoses.
Daltrey told British newspaper "The Sun": "Watching Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse is very sad. She is fantastically talented and he has a particular talent but I'm not sure he's comfortable with it.
"There's a bathroom floor waiting somewhere for him. He seems to have a death wish and that is so incredibly dull - to think that's a cool and exciting thing.
"There's obviously something very wrong in their lives that they have to go down that route to deaden some sort of pain."
He added: "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.
"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."
In August this year, Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital after an alleged drugs overdose & Doherty is currently in rehab.
