Pete Doherty: 'I Tried To Commit Suicide On My 30th Birthday'

Pete Doherty has admitted that he tried to commit suicide on the night of his 30th birthday earlier this year.

The Babyshambles singer celebrated his milestone with a party in Paris on March 12 and got through a bottle of vodka before trying to jump off his hotel roof.

He explains to Elle Magazine: "I had this bash in Paris and it was an absolute disgrace. I just made a bit of an idiot out of myself. I don't even know exactly what happened but I ended up trying to throw myself off the top of the hotel. I wasn't happy at all about being 30.

"I went through a bottle of vodka. They presented me with this cake and I pushed it in the chef's face who'd just made it for me.

"Then the chef and the security guards were chasing me around. I think I escaped unscathed.
