As you probably read last week on NME.COM, Mr. Carlos Barat of Dirty Pretty Things is unfortunately in hospital after suffering from acute pancreatitis.

continued...

We like this gent a hell of a lot, so we're sending all our best regards to the Dirty Pretty Libertine and hope he's back out of hospital tearing up a stage very soon.

We know you lot would probably like to send him some messages to cheer him up, so we're going to get together a card for him from all the NME readers. Leave your messages to Carl below and we'll compile them together and make a big card for him.

Get typing, and feel free to send virtual grapes if you want, of course.

WHY NEED I SAY, CARL DEAR! HOW GLAD I AM TO SEE YOU HERE, A LONELY CONVALESCENT; RISEN FROM THE BED OF PAIN AND FEAR, AND FERVISH HEAT INCESSANT. THE SUNNY SHOWERS, THE DAPPLED SKY, THE LITTLE BIRDS THAT WARBLE HIGH, THEIR VERNAL LOVES COMMENCING, WILL BETTER WELCOME YOU THAN I WITH THEIR SWEET INFLUENCING. BELIEVE ME, WHILE IN BED YOU LAY, YOUR DANGER TAUGHT US ALL TO PRAY: YOU MADE US GROW DEVOTER! EACH EYE LOOKED UP AND SEEMED TO SAY, HOW CAN WE DO WITHOUT HIM? BESIDES, WHAT VEXED US WORSE, WE KNEW, THEY HAVE NO NEED OF SUCH AS YOU IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE GOING: THIS WORLD HAS ANGELS ALL TOO FEW, AND HEAVEN IS OVER FLOWING!
