Pete Doherty denies Babyshambles split

Singer working on solo album

Pete Doherty has denied reports that Babyshambles are to split.

The singer, 28, is currently working on his debut solo album, sparking rumours that he’s set to call time on the band.

But Pete says the 12-track record is a ‘continuation’ of his work with the group.

‘It doesn’t conflict with Babyshambles at all,’ he says. ‘It’s just a continuation of what I do.

'I’ve always done solo recording, but instead of just knocking it out on the internet like I used to, I’m getting a little album together.’

Pete wants to try a few things that don't fit with the Babyshambles sound.

‘I’ve been going into the studio, laying down guitars and vocals, and I’ve found it completely different to anything else I do musically,’ he tells the Daily Star.

Pete is hoping to complete the untitled album by the summer, so that it can hit the shelves in autumn.
