Like anything in my experience with Pete it’s been quite fraught with many different emotions, fears, euphorias. I was relieved when it was over if only for the fact that I think it went well. The encore was a bit odd; it was certainly in true Libertines tradition, wasn’t it?…It always feels natural and there’s the occasional flicker of worry, but I think it’s mutual, you know? But when I’m playing those songs it feels really good…

Obviously when you’re connecting with someone on that level, when there’s a soulmatedom and you grow an intrinsic part of your entire ethos of the world with that person then you’re going to remain….. no matter what they do ….. there’s always going to remain a vestige, a little light which you can’t extinguish even in the darkest times. The tomb of the unknown pigman!
