He said: “Everyone has gone back to their day jobs from the Blur thing. Damon’s really involved with Gorillaz stuff, so that’s obviously taking up a lot of his time and energy. But I’m open to suggestions as far as next year goes.” Graham insists it was a fantastic experience to rejoin Blur after departing in acrimonious circumstances ... Read Full Story

Blur frontman Damon Albarn ruled out doing further shows with the Britpop band following their successful comeback gigs, in an interview due to appear Monday.
