The Libertines will reform eventually according to Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek, who says it is only a “matter of time”.

Ficek voiced his opinions just days after Carl Barat, Pete Doherty and Gary Powell reunited on stage at London's Rhythm Factory for a one off show.

Ficek told BBC 6 Music: "I'm sure they'll get together at some point. I think they should make people wait and make people really want them."

The band split in 2004 after personal problems between Barat and Doherty caused by Doherty's growing drug addiction.

Ficek added: "Obviously there is a lot of history between them both but I don’t really get involved with personal relationships and take sides.

"I just let them get on with it. They put on a great show at the Rhythm Factory so who knows."

The drummer also revealed that Babyshambles are well on their way with recording their new album.

He explained: "We're in the studio, in and out in between Pete's solo shows and festival dates. We're just getting together new songs for the next album."
