London, March 14 : Pete Doherty was left in tears and had almost decided to abandon his band after a fan's underwear prank during a gig.

The Babyshambles frontman revealed several years ago he had thrown himself at the Dundee crowd in Scotland when a fan got hold of his pants and fiercely pulled them upwards.

"The gig was going great, so I thought, ''I''ll dive in,'' and this big Scotsman just grabbed hold of my pants and said, ''Cop a load of this, Doherty''. Those were his exact words," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"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?''" he added. (ANI)
