Carlos tells us about his troubles in reaching Glastonbury: Poor Carl Barat has only just got onsite, because security wouldn’t let him in. “They made me walk about four miles to a different entrance,” he tells us, with the air of a man who maybe knows his “don’t you know who I am?” days are numbered. “I’ve missed Pete, and I’m fucking knackered now.” And to add insult to injury, the lens on his RayBans has fallen out. Bad times.

Barat also stated that he hasn’t spoken to Pete Doherty “for a while” though he keeps being sent text messages from fans pretending to be his old bandmate. “I keep getting kids texting me pretending to be Pete, which is a bit confusing because I never know when it actually is [Doherty],” he revealed. “Without realising, I could be harming my diplomatic relations with Pete by sending reactionary texts.”
