Dirty Pretty Things Q&A

Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat and bassist Didz Hammond spoke with The Sun’s ‘Something For The Weekend’ in a Q&A, where Carl was asked when he realized he couldn’t just carry on with The Libertines. “When I realised Peter [Pete Doherty] wasn’t coming back in a hurry and he was too busy with Babyshambles,” he said. “I couldn’t carry on with the band without him. Forming a new band was all I could do really. It was something that gradually happened, as soon as Pete stopped turning up for gigs.” The full transcript at thesun.co.uk has since been removed.
