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!

“Just when everything’s bleak at the end of a wilderness when you’re wondering why you’re not dead yet, when you’ve done everything you could possibly do and exhausted every possible option open to you, suddenly a door opens and there’s a ray of light, a ray of sunshine and a pastoral beautiful scene out there awaiting you. You’ve got the other world; you just start a whole other vista. It doesn’t change who I was, it just means I’m going forward. I think I was just going for four or five years waiting to die…I was climbing around on the roof of a hotel in Italy despite being petrified of heights. It just all sort of became a game to me really, just asking the universe if it wanted me dead.”

Happy birthday and thank you for everything!
