Bang Bang They're Dead – Dirty Pretty Things split up

• 2nd Oct 2008

Dirty Pretty Things have decided to call it a day.
Following the harrowing dissolution of The Libertines in 2005, Barat and Powell have found success with their follow up project Dirty Pretty Things. However, the band have now decided to pursue solo projects and their current tour will be their last.

A press release read “We are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. We have and are determined to go out as we came in, after which we all have other ventures to be getting on with and splendid future plans.

“Heartfelt thanks to all who made it what it was, much love and we'll see you on the road.”

All dates will still be played.
