Blur Reunion Is Likely
Blur’s frontman Damon Albarn told BBC 6 Music that a reunion of the heralded Britpop band is likely to happen. Guitarist Graham Coxon left Blur (pictured above in the mid-1990s) in 2001 to pursue his solo career on a full-time basis. On the subject of his current relationship with Coxon, Albarn told BBC 6 Music, “We had lunch yesterday, funnily enough, and it was fantastic. It’s great to have my own friend back.”
About the possibility of a Blur reunion, Albarn said to BBC 6 Music:
“It’s very possible, it really is very possible. And you know truth be known, Graham and I, have been hanging out a little bit so it’s good. I can’t really say any more than that because I just can’t.”
Blur last worked together on 2002’s Think Tank album. (Coxon did not appear on Think Tank.) Albarn has since worked with Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad and The Queen.
