Carl Barat insists on no Libertines reunion
Carl Barat has quashed rumours that he is set to reunite with former The Libertines bandmate Pete Doherty, insisting that they recently only meet up for a 'hug and a coffee'.
The cult British band split in 2004 but reunited last year to play two festival sets in the UK. Barat laer insisted that a comback was not on the cards for them.
Earlier in the month he posted a picture of himself with Babyshambles star Doherty on his Twitter, leading to rumours that they are planning another round of reunion shows. But Barat says that there is no future for the band.
He tells rock magazine NME: "It wasn't a Libertines thing, just an overdue hug and a coffee, rebuilding old bridges. I'm off to do two films and an opera from now to June, he's doing another Babyshambles record and finishing his film. We've an amazing friendship ahead of us."
