Babyshambles To Start Work On New Album This November

Babyshambles are to hit the studio before the year ends, to record their next album.

"It will definitely be out in 2009." Drummer Adam Ficek tells BBC 6 Music, referring to the release date.

"We're choosing producers, and then in November I think we'll reconvene and really start kicking it into shape."

Ficek also spoke about band mate Pete Doherty collaborating with former Libertines friend Carl Barat on stage this week: "Those two are really good friends still."

"I think there are obviously a lot of issues they need to talk about, and settle up on, but I don't think this will be the last time that we'll see them together."

The last Babyshambles album was 2007's 'Shotter's Nation'.
