Pete Doherty is running out of money.

The troubled rocker has reportedly been holding crisis talks with his band Babyshambles and their management to find out where the group's cash is going.

Pete, 29, said: "I've got a few concerns at the moment over issues with management - where the money has been going and distribution of wealth. Babyshambles need to sit down as a band and talk about the future. After two years of a**ing about, we could actually make money out of this job."

There could be other troubles on the horizon for the band though, as guitarist Mick Whitnall, 39, is apparently planning to quit, as he is tired of Pete's wild lifestyle.

The guitarist worked with Amy Winehouse on demos while Pete was in prison last month on drugs charges and could leave Babyshambles to join Amy's touring band full-time.

In May, it was claimed Amy, 24, had been cheating on her jailed husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, with Mick.

A source said: "Mick says they've slept together a couple of times. It's always supposed to have happened when they've been out drinking. He's told people about her birthmark in an intimate place, which is his way of proving it happened."
