Doherty vows to quit drugs for Moss
Wednesday 9 February 2005
Speaking after being released on bail, The Babyshambles singer described how thoughts of his supermodel girlfriend kept him going through four nights inside a London prison, where he was remanded charged with robbery and blackmail.
Doherty, 25, told The Sun newspaper: "I felt like crying but the thought of Kate on the outside kept me going."
The self-confessed drug addict added: "I'm determined to kick the habit for good for the sake of my relationship with her."
"Six days without heroin hasn't been as bad as I expected. I have been through the worst of the detox. I want to prove to my mum above everyone that I can do this."
"I also need to stay clean for the sake of the bandmates and the fans."
The musician has been taken to a drug rehabilitation centre as a condition of his bail, under which he must also observe a 10pm to 7am curfew.

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth.

With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
