Es tut mir leid...
Pete Doherty has apologized to his fans and all Germans for singing the banned first verse of the German national anthem during a concert in Munich on November 28th. Doherty's version of "Deutschland", interspersed with "Hit the Road Jack", drew boos immediately from the crowd.
Doherty said he "wanted to celebrate his appearance in Munich by assimilating and integrating with the crowd."
According to a spokesman, Doherty was previously "unaware of the controversy" surrounding the verse. "[Doherty] deeply apologizes if he has caused any offense," the spokesperson said. "Pete himself is from Jewish descent and has fought against racism and fascism with numerous organizations. This is a subject he feels very strongly about."
