Drew Babyshambles - 'We'll Stand By Pete'

Drew McConnell from Babyshambles has vowed to stick with bandmate Pete Doherty regardless of his drug troubles.
The Babyshambles bass player told MTV News' Tim Kash that all the band will support Doherty, who is currently in rehab attempting to kick his cocaine and heroin addictions after spending time behind bars last week charged with robbery and blackmail, but will not force him to do anything.
"All of his friends, the Libertines, his friends, the people who are in Babyshambles and around him, all care about him," said Drew. "As far Im concerned an individuals liberty is far more important than anything else, you know, and the decisions Peter makes in his life, whatever they are, I and everyone else in the band will support them.
"If he decides he wants to quit being a musician and sit in a room for the rest of his life taking drugs then fair enough."
Tim went on to ask if the music was the most important thing to them, to which McConnell responded: "Well, quite, and I think thats the most important thing to Peter as well."
