ONE IS NOT AMUSED.

The godlike genius of David Bowie has pulled out of all festival appearences/pop concerts in July - that includes T In The Park - "due to the continuing pain and extreme discomfort from a trapped/pinched nerve in his shoulder," according to a statement issued today.

The Libertines, however, are still on for the festival and other planned gigs... but without Pete Doherty. The band told NME: "Peter's erratic mental state worries us greatly and having him on tour would only compound his problems. We aim to complete all existing tour commitments without him."

How fun.

and so the TITP curse strikes once again, Bowie and possibly Muse this year, White Stripes the year before. Fingers crossed the Pixies make it in one piece

if theres anything more boring than the libertines, its the libertines without the charisma (aka pete). last year's (or the year before's?) reading for example

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Don't you just love a "tortured geni...cough...anker". I wish it was possible to write that properly in text. I don't believe this "Pete Doherty" guy even exists - its obvious he was staged by the CIA.

In any case, the Libertines sound like they've been up Boris Becker's arse at least twice, so I'm sure the loss of their cheeky frontman won't make much difference. Also, I find David Bowie sounds a lot better when you're not listening to him.

errrr you dont like The Libertines OR Bowie?
why are you on a music website?
why do you even rate Keane?
WHY I ASK YOU!!!!!

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Are you talking to me? If so, I don't understand the question. Libertines....Keane....music? Website? Bowie? Waste of a good name for a knife. Annoying in Labyrinth.

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

mmmmm. maybe.
Low?

so bowie out, maybe muse, libertines without a full line up. and a possibility of the darkness being made headliners. ocean colour scene and Ash co-headlining the king tuts tent. All that is left is The Bees on the X tent suppose aint that bad :D

Saw the Libertines a few times now - Twice with Pete and they were awful the first time (when they played udner a different name at their first gig out of London) and then again and they were even worse. On record they're not bad but I wasn't looking forward to seeing them at last years midsummer madness gig. They were without Pete but they were excellent. I guess being on the same bill as the Basement would make anyone look good though!

After hearing about Dom's dad and now actual rumours of Muse pulling out of TITP, is it just gonna be that festival? I mean they're playing V but that's nearly 2 months away.

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

surely muse should be moved to the main stage with ash taking their place headlining the NME stage?

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

The Darkness are apparently headlining now according to the NME

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

it still leaves them a band down for the main stage hence my comment above

Ash should be higher up on the bill anyway - last minute additions but still...

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Is was gonna go but hadn't got the money, so glad I'm not now, would of only gone for Muse and Bowie and maybe Ash but the darkness no way, they'd never be as good

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Muse would be great headliners.

as with them pulling out of TITP they said they are just going to wait to see closer to the time.

But if they do pull out i will not be a happy bunny!!

they are the best live act i have ever seen

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

well im going to dance like a gibbon to the jaxx, so couldn't care less!

although if ash go on before ocs, heads will roll...

is pete doherty the lead singer btw? im a little hazy when it comes to the libs.

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

Thank you.I thought being helpful and interested in music wasn't part of this site anymore.Thought it was just about insulting other people or their taste in music.And posting or sympathising with far right ideologies.

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

personally i use this site to express my distressing range of emotional problems.

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't

This is a music site?

Re: TITP: Bowie pulls out, Libs don't
