Babyshambles to release official book this November

Babyshambles are releasing an official rule book charting the history of Pete Doherty's band.


Out on November 4, drummer Adam Ficek aforementioned that the book isn't just about tabloid favorite Doherty.


"There's a lot of stuff regarding him and Kate (Moss)'s relationship, there's a lot of stuff regarding his view on the no-shows, his scene on drugs, his view on the arrests and persecution, relationships with band members," he told reports BBC 6Music. "But the good thing about it is, it's not a Peter playscript. It's a book from our position as well, about how it affects us."

Babyshambles' next has been left in doubt on numerous occasions, and the band has had several key line up changes since Doherty formed them in 2004 subsequently being kicked out of The Libertines.


Set to feature interviews and contributions from each of the current bandmembers, Ficek said that the tome charts the band's highs and lows.


"It gives you an insight into the kind of, like, the euphoric highs and the depressing lows of the band. And I imagine that's what is crucial about this band," said the drummer.


"No issue what veneer we assign on this outside it has really dark elements to it, real dark places where you think you're never gonna get out of and then suddenly you're touring arenas and it's the to the highest degree amazing thing in the world."
