DOHERTY: 'I SOLD DRUGS TO THE STROKES'

British rocker PETE DOHERTY has confessed to selling drugs to members of U.S. band THE STROKES.
The Babyshambles singer struck up a friendship with the five-strong group in 2001 when he was a member of The Libertines.
And Doherty admits he used to provide his pals with illegal substances - often in return for a ticket to one of the band's shows.
He tells Britain's ShortList magazine, "I used to sell a few little things on the side, you know? They (The Strokes) were on their first tour, and were like just a few American lads in London looking for a good time. They met a friend of mine, who said I could get them a few bits and bobs.
"I think I sold them a load of acid, they gave me tickets to their gig, I got them some more acid and it went from there.”
