Yep, it's official, Dirty Pretty things have split up.
The boys formed in 2005 and completed two full-length albums, 'Waterloo to Anywhere' and 'Romance at Short Notice'. Carl Barat, Didz Hammond, Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomando – announced the break-up of the band yesterday.
Frontman, and former Libertine, Carl Barat explained that the members of the band would be pursuing new musical projects, but emphasised the fact that it would not involve The Libertines.
"It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things" the statement read. "It's been a glorious three years which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things.
"We are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. We have and are determined to go out as we came in, after which we all have other ventures to be getting on with and splendid future plans.
"Heartfelt thanks to all who made it what it was, much love and we'll see you on the road."
