Carl Barat has said that there is โno futureโ for The Libertines with things standing as they are between him and Pete Doherty.
The frontman was speaking in the new issue of NME which is out now. In the interview he alluded to a bust-up with co-frontman Doherty and suggested that the pairโs relationship is too damaged for more band commitments to take place.
โWe are all in very different places,โ he said. โRight now is not the time for The Libertines. I thought the water under the bridge was under the bridge, but maybe itโs not. Itโs a very fucking hard thing. Every time we talk it just brings it back up.โ
He added: โI donโt believe weโre healed from the hurt. If our hearts heal up then we can break them all over again. But right nowโฆ itโs hard.โ
Barat was speaking to NME at the recent London premiere of new Libertines documentary There Are No Innocent Bystanders[/url], directed by Roger Sargent.
