Pete Doherty Admits He Almost Cancelled Babyshambles Tour Hours Before Kickoff

Indie-rock titan Pete Doherty has revealed he almost pulled the Babyshambles UK tour - just hours before it was set to kick off.
The band are currently on the tour bus promoting their brand new record ‘Sequel to the Prequel’, and although it doesn’t seem like Babyshambles have fallen out again, the tour was almost cancelled. Check out what Pete told NME on the opening night of the tour, which took place in the Brixton Academy:
“Up until about three hours ago I was gonna pull the whole tour to be honest. I mean, why do we do it? Why do we start bands and sing songs? It’s for one thing – to pull birds. And if you’re finally in love with someone then you don’t have to get onstage and make an arse of yourself.”
Luckily for fans, despite a 90-minute late start, Babyshambles did make it on stage and are still wowing fans nationwide. You can check out Stereoboard's 3.5/5-star review of the album here. What do you think of it? Leave us a comment in the box below.
