MacDonald's new single 'for Pete Doherty'

Amy MacDonald has revealed that her new single 'Poison Prince' is an ode to Pete Doherty.

The Scottish singer told ITV that her re-released track is a plea for Doherty to leave drugs behind him.

She said: "It's my little song for Pete Doherty... saying how poisonous Pete is with all his drug taking and what not".

The 20-year-old added: "It's hard to watch him going down that road... So 'Poison Prince' was just my song basically saying 'Can you come back to music and forget all the other nonsense'?"

After hearing about the tribute song, Doherty reportedly misheard the title and said: "Why would I want to listen to a song about me that is called 'Poison Pr***'?"
