Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat has admitted that his former band, The Libertines, have “unfinished business”.
In a candid interview with the Daily Mail, Barat said he could envisage the group, which also featured Pete Doherty, reuniting in the future.
He added that his on stage reunion with Doherty at the Hackney Empire last year had remind him “how great we were together”.
"As to whether The Libertines could reform, it's a big 'Maybe'," he added.
"It's a question that follows me around constantly. Some school kid will ask, 'When are you getting The Libertines back together?' I'm thinking, 'Do you really think this is something I haven't given a lot of thought to?'
"I miss the purity of what me and Pete had together when we started out. It would be great to have that back. Pete always used to say, 'Imagine the songs we still have to write.' That thought is always with me."
Dirty Pretty Things performed twice at last weekend's Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park. You can see pictures of the band in our full photo round up of the event here.
