Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty came close to having his arm amputated after contracting an infection in the limb last year (08).
The star was forced to scrap a string of gigs in December (08) after he was hospitalised with an arm injury.
No more details about the star's condition were given at the time.
But Doherty has now spoken out about his hospitalisation, insisting he came within 24 hours of drastic surgery.
He says, "It was an infection. The doctor said one more day and I'd have needed it off. I'm fine now, but it was really bad for a few days."
