Troubled singer Pete Doherty has revealed that the reason he was admitted to hospital last month was because his heart stopped working.

The Babyshambles frontman was forced to cancel his solo tour in Northern Ireland after he was admitted to hospital supposedly suffering from “exhaustion” and “breathing difficulties”. But Pete claims that his health problems had nothing to do with drugs.

"If I hadn't been on a life support machine I'd have been in Ireland. But my heart stopped” he said. "It was a really strange turn of events. Obviously, the doctors' immediate thought was that it was to do with drugs but it wasn't - it was some kind of poisoning"

The singer went on to explain:

"What happened? Well, I don't know, I don't remember. At the time I thought I was a taxi driver offering to take everyone to Elephant And Castle. I was running into the walls, making steering wheel signs with my hands. And then I just... stopped. My body just stopped."

After being kept under observation in hospital for a few days, Pete was then given the all clear by doctors. The former drug addict added:

"I've always had a slight dickie heart, I was born with it. I'm fragile in there, you know?"

Uh-ha, yeah sure you are Pete…
