The Libertines are back with “Night of the Hunter,” the latest single from their upcoming album, All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade.
Arriving nearly two months after the band announced their comeback album, All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade (their first full-length release in nine years), “Night of the Hunter” is a story song partially inspired by the 1955 film of the same name starring Robert Mitchum as a preacher who has the words “Love” and “Hate” tattooed on his knuckles.
As The Libertines’ Peter Doherty explains: “The song’s about not staying ahead of the law. This fella doesn’t really know why his mate’s dead, but he’s got a feeling his mate had it coming to him. He fucked with the wrong people, and he stole something he shouldn’t have, and he got stabbed. So, he’s angry and hurt and he has to go and get revenge…...

Pete Doherty has opened up about how years of drug and alcohol abuse have ravaged his health. During an appearance on the BBC series Louis Theroux Interviews (via The Independent), The Libertines frontman explained how it feels like death is “lurking.”
“You are looking at a very sick man, I’ve battered it, haven’t I, I’ve fucking caned it,” Doherty said after he got up to take a swig of blackcurrant rum, which caused him to start coughing and clutch his chest. “[The] heroin and the crack… I surrendered to that, and then it was cocaine and the smoking and the alcohol, and now it’s cheese and the saucisson, and the sugar in the tea. It’s all gotta go.”
He continued by sharing how doctors had urged him to change his lifestyle. “They told me a little while ago if you don’t change your diet then...

Louis Theroux accidentally offended Dame Judi Dench with one of his interview questions.
The documentarian sat down with the Oscar-winning actor for an episode of his BBC series Louis Theroux Interviews, which aired on Tuesday (1 November).
The actor told Theroux that she owned 17 cats during the war, Theroux replied: “During which war?”
Dench, 87, said: “Well, the Second World War. Louis!”
The Belfast star jokingly told off Theroux, 52, for implying that she could have been alive during the First World War (1914 - 1918).
“Am I the only person who heard that? ‘Which war?’” she quipped.
Theroux laughed and quickly tried to defend himself, saying: “I thought you meant the Vietnam war.”
“Oh. No, the Second World War,” Dench laughed.
