Doherty to reform Libertines?
Pete Doherty is looking to reform The Libertines, according to reports.

The singer is said to be trying to persuade former bandmate Carl Barat to reform the group, who split in 2004.

He reportedly attended a recent gig by Barat's new band Dirty Pretty Things in Paris in order to discuss working together again.

However, a source told The Mirror that Barat will need assurances that Doherty is serious about the reunion, saying: "Carl thinks it might work, but he needs to be 100% sure Pete won't let him down again before he signs up."

Doherty is currently recording a new solo album and recently worked on a track with reclusive former La's frontman Lee Mavers.
