Record signing
Controversial rock star Pete Doherty has written a new song to mark QPR's FA Cup win.
No, that's not a deliberate mistake.
The Babyshambles frontman, famed for his wild lifestyle and dating model Kate Moss, revealed details of his ditty after learning Rangers had commissioned a tune from composer Michael Nyman.
"Fair play to Michael Nyman for composing the song for QPR to come out on to the pitch but I've already written a song for when they win the FA Cup," Doherty told The Guardian newspaper.
"He could do the B-side."
Doherty says his unnamed tune is a ska track.
But he might need to do a bit of work on the lyrics, which include the following lines:
I'll be, I'll be there
With blue and white ticker tape in my hair
Up the Rs
Up the Rs
Up the Rs
What a life on Mars
Rangers 'convert' Kate Moss
As a teenager, Doherty wrote a QPR fanzine 'All Quiet on the Western Avenue', copies of which have inflated in value since his rise to fame.
And he still claims to have a close allegiance to the club, even getting his on-off girlfriend Moss involved.
"I'm quite disappointed that I wasn't asked to write the QPR anthem," he said.
"I'm doing my best for them. I've got a picture of the missus in the Rangers shirt inside the sleeve of the new Babyshambles album, 'Down In Albion'.
"Now that is fantasy football."
Doherty kicked out of QPR match
Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty was reportedly kicked out of a football match for taking drugs in the toilets - only hours after he vowed on national television to stay away from crack and heroin.
According to the News Of the World, the former Libertines singer was told to leave the QPR v Millwall game at Loftus Road on Saturday after he was caught with heroin.
Only hours earlier, Doherty told Channel 4 News he would stay away from crack and heroin after being released from prison on charges of possessing drugs.
The singer, who left Pentonville prison in north London with a 12-month community order, also spoke of his love for model Kate Moss.
He admitted he had considered throwing a shoe over the plastic barrier in court if judges sent him back to prison, where he spent several days in custody.
Instead, magistrates in Ealing, west London, last week ordered him to take part in a drugs rehabilitation programme as part of his sentence.
Doherty said prison was "not a place anybody wants to be", adding: "Thousands of people pass through prison every day."
He said his sentence was "a lot to be going on with" and that he would not be taking more drugs.
"I've just been helped. I'm not going to make light of the fact I've been given a great chance, and take crack and heroin."
He insisted he was "not that much of a junkie anyway" but told how he was attending rehabilitation meetings and had blood tests every two weeks to prove he was drug-free.
Asked what the future held, he said: "Start the drug-free life that I'm looking forward to."
Doherty rejected criticism that his sentence was too lenient and said he was "being made an example of".
He added: "If I was not famous then I would not have the extremes, the corruptness and fortune that led me there in the first place."
The singer refused to say whether he had spoken to Moss since she arrived back in Britain to answer police questions over allegations that she snorted cocaine.
He added: "It's a bit rude (to ask about it). It's hard enough talking to my friends about it.
"It's people's lives, not a story. I met someone, I fell in love with them. We've had our ups and downs."
