Pete Doherty scares his friends into thinking he is dead - for a joke.Doherty's tour manager, Sally, confessed that the Babyshambles frontman is so messed up from taking drugs that he enjoys playing gruesome pranks.She told Britain's Sunday Times magazine: "He sometimes pretends to overdose and lies there for 10 minutes, and then he laughs and thinks it is funny. It isn't." Sally also revealed that the wild singer loves to write and paint using his own blood.The 27-year-old, who has been involved in an 18 month on-off relationship with Kate Moss, cruelly takes advantage of his fans by making them clean up his squalid East London flat.He has made one fan do his laundry while another was forced to sort out Doherty's road tax.Sally said: "He forms an intimate bond with people quickly. They're bereft when he drops them - which he always does."
