(Sept. 2) - Pete Doherty, the shambolic frontman of UK band Babyshambles, had to be revived by paramedics in Austria after he collapsed before a concert there over the weekend, according to reports out of the UK.

Several newspapers, including The Sun, indicate it was a drug overdose.

The drug-addled Brit eventually stumbled out on stage four hours later, but refused to premiere some home movies that were touted as part of the show.

The rocker was coy following show, telling reporters that "there was some minor problem but it's a secret. Nothing bad, though -- I'm still alive."

Who cares?! He is a looser 100% Just like Amy Winehouse. He is not going to change and having pity for him just feeds into his addiction.
