Rossomando: 'Libertines won't reform soon'

Anthony Rossomando has said that while The Libertines will probably reform one day, a reunion will not happen in the near future.

The Dirty Pretty Things guitarist replaced Pete Doherty for a number of live performances when the frontman was sacked from the band in 2004.

Rossomando told BBC 6 Music: "I bet it will happen but I don't think it will be anytime soon.

"People's lives change, they find a new reality for themselves and that old reality doesn't exist for them."

He added: "On the inside their lives have changed and they've moved on to different things, and are surrounded by different people.

"Who knows? Like five years, two years. I know they're not scamping around and talking about it, it's not a big deal to them anyway."

Doherty recently pledged that The Libertines would return in the next couple of years.
