Dirty Pretty Things Split
Carl Barat’s post-Libs venture grounds to a halt as band members move on to pursue other projects.
Dirty Pretty Things have split up and have announced that band members Carl Barrat, Didz Hammond, Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomando will be pursuing separate musical projects in the future. Pete Doherty, however, does not look like he’ll be getting a call as, in a statement, the band have said:
"It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things. It's been a glorious three years which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things. (not The Libertines)”
This month's tour is still set to go ahead as the band plan a rousing final farewell.
"We are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. We have and are determined to go out as we came in, after which we all have other ventures to be getting on with and splendid future plans”
"Heartfelt thanks to all who made it what it was, much love and we'll see you on the road."
You can re-live all of DPT’s glorious Xfm moments – sessions, interviews, news – right here.
So what do you think? Has it been a long time coming or a shock to the system? Will Carl get the Libs back? Or has he genuinely deleted Pete's number from his phone. Let us know...
