Doherty: 'Libertines will make new LP'

Pete Doherty has said that he and former Libertines bandmate Carl Barât will probably reunite next year for a new album and tour.

The singer-songwriter told The Times that he discussed the possibility with Barât following their one-off show at the Rhythm Factory in London earlier this year.

Doherty said: "Basically we had a good couple of hours. We were up all night together. Yeah, it was amazing really.

"I think we're gonna make a record, and tour. Get The Libertines to take it to the next step, next stage. Next year."

Regarding the gigs his old band played without him in the past, he added: "My heart caved in. I was destroyed. Not by the fall-out, but by seeing him on Top Of The Pops doing 'Don't Look Back Into the Sun' without me.

"The very idea of them doing a gig without me was just, like... Whatever happened, whatever he did, I would never, ever do a gig without him and call myself The Libertines."
