Dirty Pretty Things, the band formed in 2005 following the break-up of one of the greater UK rock bands of the last decade is calling it quits. Hanging up their sweat-soaked towels. Er, you get the idea. Carl Barat, the band's lead, immediately addressed the matter of getting back together with former Libertines mate Pete Doherty with a solid "no", so there goes that.
"It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things. It's been a glorious three years, which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things (not The Libertines).
"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.”

Godspeed!
