Fans of the Libertines rejoice – the band is ready to make new music. The news comes just weeks after the heartbreak of Babyshambles star Patrick Walden’s death.

The tragic news saw Libertines frontman and former Babyshambles bandmate Pete Doherty pay tribute. Pete had previously created Babyshambles when he was driven out of The Libertines due to his drug habit.

But now, after returning to the Libertines, Pete and fellow band mate, Carl Barat, have teased they ready to share new tunes with the world. Despite releasing new music as a solo act earlier this year, Doherty admitted there could be original Libertines songs thrown out there too after a successful Glastonbury.

When Speaking to NME, Pete was asked about any future tunes, and he admitted: “We did have quite a strong idea”.

When he was then probed on any plans to release new music soon, in his unique way, he joked: “I just released an album [‘Felt Better Alive‘] a month and a half ago, man! What do you want? Blood? ”

He went on: “Anyway, I have to say all in all, it’s a game of two halves. At the end of the day, you’re either chuffed as a lad or sick as a parrot. “

And he added his delight at one moment in Glastonbury. “Did you see that fan with The Simpsons flag? ,” he said.

“It had Carl and me really fat with a ‘tasch playing the guitar. The f***? Happy days, man. ” He then joked that he would always be ready for an appearance in the iconic cartoon.

During their sat on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, the band tried to start a ‘Free Palestine’ chant during their performance. However, they failed as the microphone wasn’t on.

The band was met with a huge crowd on the day as they performed a number of their biggest hits, including Can’t Stand Me Now and Don’t Look Back into the Sun. But as they waved goodbye to the vast crowd, Gary Powell decided to stay on and hold up a Palestine flag that was on stage during their performance.

And as he attempted to get a chant going, his efforts were foiled as the microphone was off, which meant Gary’s chant wasn’t heard by fans. A source told the Mirror at the time: “The camera was zoomed in on his mouth so everyone could clearly see he was mouthing the phrase ‘free free Palestine’ but the mic was muted.

“Those at the front tried to get the chant going on his behalf, but it fizzled out, and he gave up and left the stage. Fans leaving debated if it was intentional as he picked up and waved the flag before heading to the mic. “
