The musician asked his fans for forgiveness after performing a Nazi anthem at a German music festival on Saturday (November 28).
The Babyshambles singer was performing in Munich when he upset the crowd by singing Deutschland Uber Alles, a national anthem that was used by the Nazis for propaganda with the Germans. Doherty was heavily booed until the festival organisers took him off the stage.
This controversial song was banned following World War II because of its ties to the Nazi regime.
Doherty’s rep revealed that his client understands what he did wrong. He explained, "(Doherty) wanted to celebrate his appearance in Munich by assimilating and integrating with the crowd, something he tries do wherever he goes. He was unaware of the controversy surrounding the German national anthem and he deeply apologises if he has caused any offence."
Pete Doherty will begin a tour with Babyshambles on December 10.
