Gay detective dads at their wedding shoot

has anyone posted the guardian article here yet?

It’s 20 years since they topped the charts – then fought, stagnated and imploded. But now Pete Doherty and Carl Barât are back. Was it easy

insane.

Barât once said he’d never find another songwriting partner like Doherty. Was he right? “I think it’d still be true now,” he says. “Ermmm,” Doherty says. Another loud exhalation. “You want the honest answer?” Yes, please. “Maybe I’m not thinking it when I write the song, but the first thing I think afterwards is, ‘I wonder what Carl will think of that?’, whoever I’m writing the song with. The honest answer is, everything I write is for Carl.”

Peter and Carl in The Guardian, February 2024.

"I think I remember the exact moment because I was wearing this 1970s, plastic, Italian anorak, the sort of thing that a crap racing car driver would have worn. I was wearing it with a really cheap perfume that I think I was really proud of, you know. I went to visit my sister in college, and I flipped my head around the door to my sister's room and he was sitting in the bed, in my sister's bed. He was wearing big army boots with like 24 holes and a green army jacket. And he had quite long hair in a ponytail, jet black hair and blue eyes. I remember that moment distinctly."

Peter describing the first time he met Carl in Stxdyoz Magazine, January 2024. Carl also added the detail that it was raining.
