Pete Doherty tried desperately to commit suicide during his stay in rehab last month, when he found out that his ex-lover Kate Moss had found a new man.
The lovesick puppy who likes to dose his cats up with cocaine tried to overcome this overwhelming jealousy by gulping down a high number of pills.
But the pain didn’t go, and he was violently sick, as he normally is every day, but this time it could have been so much worse.
“He doesn’t care what drugs do to him—in fact, he likes finding out.”
Another pal of the rocker, who asked not to be named, said: “Pete was so low during rehab his legal team considered sectioning him under the Mental Health Act in order to get him the treatment he needed.
“It was touch and go with Pete for a while but he pulled through in the end.”
Pete’s suicide bid came just weeks after it emerged Kate, 33, was dating Kills singer Jamie Hince, 39.
Johnny — who faces a possible police probe into the death of a man at a party attended by Doherty — also revealed that Kate was on the phone regularly while he was in rehab.
He recalled: “To begin with Kate was ringing him up all the time, concerned for his well-being.
“But when Pete started to quiz her about the new guy, she was evasive and it got to him. She messed with his head.
“But now he’s out and happy. He’s trying to keep off the drugs and needs his own space.
“Hopefully Kate will stay away this time but she can’t help herself. She’s obsessed with him.”
