Barât: Dirty Pretty Things split due to cocaine comfort

By | Published on Friday 24 September 2010

In a new interview with the NME, Carl Barât has said that his former band Dirty Pretty Things fell apart because he had fallen into a “comfort zone” of alcohol and cocaine abuse. Which at least makes a nice change from your band collapsing because your co-frontman is in a “comfort zone” of heroin and supermodels. Though possibly less exciting.

Barât told the music weekly: “I found myself in what can only be referred to as a comfort zone. A leather jacket, skinny jeans, bottle of whisky, coke, knowing I could play a few Libertines songs and ‘Bang Bang You’re Dead’ to a dwindling and increasingly disappointed audience. That’s a hard thing to realise”.
