The reunion of The Libertines has really left everyone confused to the future of Babyshambles. The sounds from Carl and Pete seem to suggest that their performances at Reading and Leeds could well lead to other things. It would seem unlikely that Pete would be able to hold down two bands, usually struggling to hold down one.

Rumours started when earlier this month Pete was quoted in Metro saying Babyshambles “are no more”. Management was quick to retort “Reports that Babyshambles are no more are categorically untrue.” However, this is standard practice for managers until they know for certain a band is over and the canceling of their gigs in York and Darlington earlier this month suggest another story.

And now there is another coffin nail at a gig in Charlotte Street Blues in London. According to fan forums neither original bassist Drew McConnell nor drummer Adam Ficek were there – the latter being replaced by someone new. Pete then announced that this was the new line up of the band.

When asked about this Fieck tweeted Cheers for the support all, am as confused as all??? Was looking forward to gigs/newrecordz. Headache! Need to smell a rose (sic).

It looks to us like Babyshambles are on their last legs.
