Pete Doherty’s reassembled troupe team up with Brit art aristocracy.

Babyshambles have revealed that the artwork for their imminent comeback album, Sequel To The Prequel, was designed by Turner Prize winner Damien Hirst.

The British artist, who’s best known for floating dead sharks in tanks of formaldehyde, delivered a psychedelic image reminiscent of his famous ‘spin’ paintings, which are made by chucking a load of paint at a spinning canvas.
