He may possibly be the unhealthiest man in Britain, but Pete Doherty is stepping up to the plate and doing something about it… sort of. Yes, he’s quit rehab for the millionth time and is never snapped without a cigarette in his mouth, but Petey has apparently taken up meditation and Tai Chi to cope with the stresses and strains of balancing touring and quality heroin time.

Babyshambles bandmate Adam Ficek told Xfm: “You won’t believe this, but Pete’s actually meditating next door right now.

“I’ve got him into it. I do a lot of Tai Chi… Stranger things have happened in the land of Babyshambles.”

I don’t doubt it!
