Pete Doherty planned Winehouse collaborations

Pete Doherty had planned to record a series of jazz songs with Amy Winehouse before her death last year.

After a lengthy battle with drink and drugs, the 'Back To Black' singer passed away in July 2011. Winehouse enjoyed a close friendship with Doherty, with the Babyshambles star even admitting recently that the pair were lovers.

He revealed that before her passing, he and Winehouse had hoped to record some cover versions together.

He said: ''We always planned to do some Billie Holiday songs together - 'Good Morning Heartache' and 'These Foolish Things'. Whenever we'd get together with guitars, we'd go through them.''

Doherty - who is famed for his drug addictions and brushes with the law - also added that he feels "resentful" of Amy's death.

He added: ''No one got the chance to say goodbye. It was such a shock. There are so many things I'm resentful of [about the situation], but I almost feel that it's not my business. I wouldn't want to offend anyone. A few times there have been tragic deaths of my friends, and their families have made me feel less than welcome in celebrating their memory. Like I was held responsible for these deaths.''
