In a recent interview Pete Doherty has told of the ludicrous offers that The Libertines that have received to reform this summer.
Pete Doherty has told the NME that The Libertines have been literally offered millions of pounds to reform for the Reading and Leeds festival. He went on to say that he was up for the reunion but Carl Barat wasn’t sure whether Pete’s ‘energy’ was in the right place.
"We had some ridiculous offers to headline Reading," said Doherty. "Like £2 million to headline this festival, £1 million to headline that festival. I said, 'Why don't we just do it? Let's get the old band back together’.”
Pete continued to the NME:
"He said I had to go and see an energy consultant, some new age guru who is going to measure my energy levels and see if I'm surrounded by darkness… If I am I'm not allowed to go near Carl because I'll tap into his good energy and I'll sap all the good energy and bring nothing but darkness into his life."
We await any developments in The Libertines ongoing story.
