After the Live 8 concert ended, Pete Doherty, who sang in duet with Sir Elton John, was criticized for his lousy performance. Pete was suspected of taking drugs just before he entered the stage, because he could barely stand up.

But Pete Doherty has slammed the accusations, insisting he was seduced by Bob Gedolf's daughter, Peach, seconds before he went on stage.

"I wasn't lost for words and I wasn't out of it on drugs. Just before I went on stage, Peaches squeezed my bum hard and whispered something rather suggestive to me. It left me in such shock, I didn't know where I was.

"Bob Geldof has organized this amazing global event, I was facing 210,000 people, the cameras are rolling, and f**king Elton John is duetting with me. And Bob's daughter has secretly made a pass at me.

"It's all I can think about. It did my head in. I didn't think Bob would be very happy."

Pete Doherty, born March 12, 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland, UK, was co-frontman and songwriter with Carl Barat, of British punk and garage rock revivalists The Libertines.

He is currently the frontman for the band Babyshambles. Since 2003, he has become known to the public for his addiction to drugs and his recent relationship with model Kate Moss.
