Regular no-shows at, um, shows Babyshambles have parted company with Rough Trade, the label that released their much-delayed and ultimately shite Down In Albion long-player last year.
The label has opted not to renew the band's contract, but has denied that the antics of singer Pete Doherty have had any effect on their decsion.
A source spoke to The Independent:
"Rough Trade were in the process of renegotiating a deal, but the talks broke down because it just proved to be so difficult to deal with Pete and the people he surrounds himself with."
