DOHERTY NEARLY QUIT OVER UNDERWEAR PRANK

BABYSHAMBLES frontman PETE DOHERTY came close to quitting the group after a mischievous fan yanked the star's underwear during a concert.
The rocker threw himself into the crowd during a show in Dundee, Scotland several years ago - and was stunned when a man grabbed his undergarments and viciously pulled them upwards.
Doherty stopped the performance and fled in tears - hiding in the band's tour bus and threatening to quit the group over the incident.
He says, "The gig was going great, so I thought, 'I'll dive in,' and this big Scotsman just grabbed hold of my pants (underwear) and said, 'Cop a load of this, Doherty'. Those were his exact words.
"I hid in the tour bus crying. When they (my bandmates) found me I was crying my eyes out, going, 'The band's not working out. We should split up.' Nobody believed what was wrong, and eventually I snapped, 'All right, I got a wedgie, OK?'"
