British rockers BABYSHAMBLES were forced to abandon plans to reunite their original line-up when guitarist PATRICK WALDEN quit their U.K tour on Thursday (22Nov07).

The Pete Doherty-fronted group was due to perform with Walden on seven scheduled dates, but the musician refused to appear with his former band just hours before he was due to go on stage at the gig in Manchester, England - the opening night of their tour.

But guitarist Mick Whitnall, who replaced Walden after he quit the band in 2005, insists there was 'no animosity' between the pair.

He tells NME.com, "He came up to Manchester on the tourbus with us, he was going to come out and play on a couple of songs, but there were complications and he had to go home. Personally, I just found it all a bit strange.

"It was a very amicable decision, he just didn't want to do it in the end. He's got other projects on the go and I wish him well. There's no animosity there, none at all."

Walden last appeared with his former band at two gigs in July and August earlier this year (07).
