So is Doherty out of the Libertines again?

Pete Doherty's website post says he has checked out of the Priory and cancelled all gigs, including festivals, leaving the Libertines' future unclear.

Well, we say the line up remains unchanged, that depends on whether a recent web posting by Libertines front man Pete Doherty is genuine. Writing on his Babyshambles site, Doherty, who checked himself out (or got kicked out, depending which rumours you believe) of the Priory over the weekend, said yesterday: "I must away.... from the cycle of destruction...yeah yeah all gigs are off including the festivals I was 'too unwell' to play last year." Whether Doherty will stick to his word, and whether his bandmates will carry on regardless, remains to be seen.
