Babyshambles front man Pete Doherty has been pictured recently sporting what looks like a gaping wound in his nose.

The new pictures show Doherty with a bleeding rotting nose that friends fear may be as a result of drug use�

The damage to his nose was so bad that even fans watching a gig noticed it.

According to the Daily Star one said: �It looked awful. There was such a lot of people shocked that he turned up in such a state.

�The man is a mess. Maybe its time he was locked up for his own good.�

Doherty was recently ordered to start a 12 month rehabilitation programme by a court after he was stopped by police who found Class A drugs on him.

His ex-girlfriend Kate Moss successfully completed a 28 day rehab course after she was allegedly pictured snorting cocaine in the Daily Mirror.

Moss later paid for Doherty to attend the same course but he quit after a few day�thus ending their relationship.

However, his friends still don�t sound too hopeful about Doherty�s chances of living a clean life, one said: �Let�s hope it�s just a sore nose. Pete knows that if he fails a drugs test he�ll be in prison.�

Take a leaf out of your ex-girlfriend�s book and sort yourself out mate�if you are still capable.
