Kate keeps Pete 'locked up'

London - Supermodel Kate Moss wants her lover Pete Doherty to quit his band Babyshambles, The Sun says.
She even hired a bodyguard at the weekend to keep bandmates away from him, said another tabloid.
The supermodel is apparently furious that Pete went on tour so soon after leaving rehab. She fears he may fall back into his old ways.
Pete can't take heroin because he has implants in his stomach - but Kate is worried he may do something else.
The two reportedly spent the weekend at the model's mansion in an Oxfordshire village and Kate also spent thousands of pounds on a bodyguard, says the Daily Mirror.
A friend told the paper that Kate is so determined to help Pete kick the habit that she more or less locked him up in her home.
The couple had a bust-up after Babyshambles' sell-out gig in London on Friday. Hours later, the rest of the band's tour dates were called off.
"Babyshambles have made the decision to postpone the remaining five dates of their current UK tour," a spokesperson for EMI said.
"It has become clear that Peter embarked on this arduous and high profile tour too soon after his discharge and still needs time to recover from his extensive rehab treatment," he said.
"Peter asks that he be given the time and space to continue with his excellent effort to recover," he added.
"The band apologises to fans but hope that they will understand the importance of Peter being able to best continue his good progress in recovering from addiction," he said.
"The dates will be rearranged for as soon as possible and all tickets will remain valid." - Ananova.com/AP
