The Libertines - Carl Barat And Pete Doherty To Work On New Album

The rockers fell out following the band's ill fated second album in 2004, before reforming for U.K. festivals in 2010. Now, Barat has revealed they are heading back to the studio to work on tracks for his solo album as soon as Doherty returns from rehab in Thailand.

Barat tells The Sun newspaper, "I'm always hungry for something else. I'm working really hard on a new solo album. I spoke to Pete before he went to rehab in Thailand and there could be something happening. When he gets back hopefully we'll be on the same page and we'll take it from there. I'm hoping that the album will be done by the end of the year."

The troubled rocker jetted to Asia last month (Jun12) in a bid to conquer his long-running drug problems.
