Babyshambles close the tour with Carl Barat on stage

THE Babyshambles they were joined by Carl Barât on stage at London’s Koko to perform “What Katie Did” of the Libertines and they played “Wolfman” for the first time in 20 years. Koko was the last date of ‘Dandy Hooligan Tour’ (the tour had begun last November 5th and took place over fifteen concerts) which saw the Babyshambles reunite after eleven years.

“Wolfman”
B-side of the single
“Albion”
of 2005, closed the set of the English band with the participation of not only Barât but also their original drummer
Gemma Clarke
.
Carl Barât
he published some images and a video of the live show on his Instagram channel accompanied by the caption: “Up the shambles”.

Speaking recently to British magazine NME about their comeback,
Pete Doherty
he explained that the reunion was only possible after he and the guitarist
Mick Whitnall
they have cleansed themselves of every kind of addiction. He also revealed that the original guitarist too
Patrick Walden
,
passed away last June
was supposed to be involved in the comeback.

Doherty said he actually thought of Walden. “My first thought was to see his face up there while we were playing. It was always talked about. There was always the desire to play those songs again, but the focus was the addiction, and the danger that Mick and I could influence each other. So the people around us didn’t want us to meet and we probably both knew it wasn’t a good idea.”
