Pete Doherty returning to rehab

Pete Doherty will miss girlfriend Kate Moss's fashion launch this week because he is checking back into rehab.

The Babyshambles frontman has been booked into a Midlands clinic, where he will be provided with an implant to help beat his heroin addiction.

Moss launches her new fashion collection on Tuesday at Topshop's store on London's Oxford Street.

"Pete did go out on a bender last week," one of the 28-year-old's band-mates told the Sunday Mirror, "but he has reduced his intake massively and he hopes the new implant will help him quit for good."
