ROCKER Pete Doherty apologised yesterday after being booed off stage in Munich for singing the Nazi anthem "Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles".

Doherty, lead singer of Babyshambles, faced boos from a crowd at a music festival in Munich on Saturday when he sang the song during the concert, which was broadcast live.

Doherty was asked to leave the stage by a moderator and he threw the microphone at her, according to a report in a Munich newspaper.

"He was unaware of the controversy surrounding the German national anthem and he deeply apologises if he has caused any offence," Doherty's spokeswoman said.
