The Libertines offered millions to play at Reading/Leeds festival



In a recent interview with London mag NME, Pete Doherty has told of the ludicrous offers that The Libertines that have received to reform this summer.

Pete Doherty said that The Libertines have been literally offered millions of pounds to reform for the Reading and Leeds festival. He went on to say that he was up for the reunion but Carl Barat wasn’t sure whether Pete’s 'energy’ was in the right place.

"We had some ridiculous offers to headline Reading," said Doherty. "Like £2 million to headline this festival, £1 million to headline that festival. I said, 'Why don't we just do it? Let's get the old band back together’.'

"He [Barat] said I had to go and see an energy consultant, some new age guru who is going to measure my energy levels and see if I'm surrounded by darkness, If I am I'm not allowed to go near Carl because I'll tap into his good energy and I'll sap all the good energy and bring nothing but darkness into his life."

Let us sit and pray that this love guru puts Pete and Carl back together again, so there can be a rebirth of one of the greatest indie bands of this generation.
