Doherty says he can handle it
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 July 2009
Pete Doherty says that he could handle a Libertines reunion on top of his solo work and his Babyshambles commitments.
The singer, currently promoting solo single ‘Broken Love Song’, out 27 Jul, said in an new interview showing on Babelgum : “Even though people presume that Babyshambles was a substitute band, it existed back in the day alongside The Libertines. It’s not weird having all three going, it’s ideal. It’s what I want, just to make music and then perform it or release it in a way that’s the most natural”.
He adds that his three projects aren’t interchangeable, saying: “Sometimes doing Libertines songs with Babyshambles just doesn’t feel right – for them and for me. In the same way that back in the Libertines days… playing certain songs that were all about how much I hated playing songs with The Libertines… I wasn’t really happy playing them with The Libertines. I had to get another band on the go”.
