Watch Carl Barât join Suki Waterhouse to cover The Libertines’ ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’ in London
Carl Barât joined Suki Waterhouse for a live cover of The Libertines‘ ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’ at her show in London last night (August 25). Check out the footage below.
Waterhouse played a headline gig at the O2 Forum Kentish Town as part of her current UK and European tour. It comes in support of her second studio album, ‘Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin’, which was released last year.
Midway through the set, Waterhouse surprised the audience by inviting Libertines member Barât to the stage to assist on a collaborative rendition of the band’s 2004 hit single ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’.
The musician played guitar and provided vocals on the cover. Watch fan-shot footage of the moment in the post below.

After airing ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’, Waterhouse played her regular cover of Oasis‘ ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’. She also performed the song at Reading & Leeds 2025 last weekend, and during her set at last year’s All Points East.
Waterhouse is due to play a second show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town tonight (August 26) before heading to Belfast’s Ulster Hall on Thursday (28).
Speaking to NME last year, the singer explained how writing ‘Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin’ during her pregnancy had shaped its production. “The beautiful thing about making this record was that I had this very physical deadline – not just one where it’s like, ‘You should turn it in then’, but a very physical one,” she explained.
“That was something that I really leaned into with this project, and not being able to leave my living room for a couple of months was probably the best thing for it.”
Meanwhile, earlier this month saw The Libertines play a huge outdoor show at London’s Gunnersbury Park.
