Billy Coyle, a figure deeply connected with the Barrowland, . The room fell silent. " he said, with admiration. "The Libertines have always stood for something raw, honest, and beautiful. And what better company to join than the likes of David Bowie and Iggy Pop?"

Bowie, who had once graced this very stage, and Iggy Pop, the wild heart of punk, now stood alongside a band that captured the spirit of rebellion for a new generation.

Carl Barât and Pete Doherty exchanged smiles, , accepting the honor with humble words, paying tribute to the legends before them, and thanking the Barrowland for its place in their history.
