Tomorrows NME cover

Loved last years performance, very glad I was there now.

Eh, it won't stick and they will do another gig for a big pay day again.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

true, who else would pay the silly amount R&L did though...

Vfest would be the most likely to or even R&L again but as headliners if they are actually permanently breaking up and it's not just NME sensationalism.

[lharris92]

meh

we all know if they were offered enough they would reform for a one off show or something...

I believe The Smiths were offered around $50 Million to tour but turned it down.

Enough*

Well I'm glad I saw the full line up before they split. I very much doubt this is the end though.

[tolywoly]

You never know. People have made more dogmatic 'never again' statements than that and ultimately changed their minds. Give it a few years.

[SamSheppard]

Shame, really hope it isnt then end, Glad i was at there performance last year now though

Right now is not the time for The Libertines

In my eyes, this pretty much confirms that there is a future for them, just not in the next couple of years like everybody seems to be hoping.

[JAnderson]

Give it 4/5 more years and they'll headline R/L to fill the coffers back up. Glad I got to see them when I did though, them and Arcade Fire on the same night was unreal.

This is the same NME that confirmed that The Stone Roses would be reuniting, right? Hmmmm.

[Mariner]

Good riddance but they'll be back. So overrated. NME is like Heat magazine.

Yeh but I think this is an actual interview with Libertines whereas The Stone Roses story was just a rumour that they had heard.

[FiestaDave]

I think this article just confirmed what everyone thought. They'll be back in a few years.

[JWC126]

I dunno, if you've actually read the interview, Powell does the best job of summarising the whole situation. Whenever Doherty and Barat fall out, only Barat remembers it and by the time they meet up again Barat puts it behind him anyway. They'll be fine.
