London, Nov 6: English musician Pete Doherty still seems to be angry with rock/pop singer Sir Elton John over their disastrous Live 8 performance in 2005, for he has blasted the latter for it.

The Babyshambles member has hit back saying that it was John’s band that was responsible for the mess.

“What a bunch of f****** w******. What a bunch of sausage sucking, session, slaphead, ponytailed p*****, you know?” the Sun quoted him as saying.
