Babyshambles' frontman Pete Doherty collapsed after allegedly taking a number of narcotics hours before performing a solo show at a venue in Graz, Austria. His condition has reportedly forced his promoter, Bettina Aichbauer to summon the paramedics for a further medical check up.

Pete apparently didn't consider it as a serious matter as the singer refused to be taken to hospital and despite being four-hour late, he insisted to play, but the performance lasted only for 45 minutes. When asked about his overdose collapse, the singer says, "There was some minor problem but it's a secret. Nothing bad, though. I'm still alive."

In the gig, the singer's autobiographical movie, which reveals some details about his former relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, was supposed to be debuted. Concerning the alleged drugs binge and his delayed movie premiere, Pete's spokesperson refused to give any statement.
