Former Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat is to support Glasvegas on tour, according to reports.

Barat is expected to warm up for the band during a show in Los Angeles in January.

The singer has been an outspoken fan of the Scottish band, who have enjoyed massive success this year.

As previously reported, Dirty Pretty Things announced that they were to split last month.

The band, who released two albums, denied the decision was taken so Barat could reform the Libertines along with Pete Doherty.
