Blur on Reuniting, New Album & World Tour. 

Alex James - Works in an IT department Graham Coxon - Runs IT department Dave Rowntree - Assistant head of IT department Damon - Works in marketing and came down to get his laptop looked at

Is it just me or is Damon a lot more excited on this interview than usual 🤣

I love the way Damon whistles when he speaks.

I just love the fact that the "subtitles" managed to convert "Kaleidoscopic" to "Colitis Car Pig". It's like a Bowie / Burroughs 'cut up' lyric. Magnificent.

Love to see they slowly growing old and enjoying each other company after all the hassles 😅😅😅

Brilliant to see them back and the new music sounding fantastic

This is such a good light hearted interview lol

Love Blur. Still all the same members. Sounding as great as ever! Modern life is better with them :)

I still fucking love these blokes, how can you not???

"I got the feeling we was going to go from irrelevant to forgotten, and I wasn't 'aving none of that."

Bush is obviously nervous but excited to interview his favourite band. Alex was very pleasant to him, Damon could learn a thing or two.

I bought Graham Coxon a drink in Camden about 10 years ago, we exchanged music ideas, he even gave me his email to send him stuff. Nice guy........nice band!

Great bunch of lads. Iconic legends the four of them. Coxton still sounds like someone you want to look after like a little brother or something.

Just saw them last night ! They were amazing ❤

blur, are the only band that i can think of, that have come back with 2x brilliant albums

Some of you might find it strange, but as an Eastbourne resident, it got announced they would be playing the winter gardens and quite literally the tickets were gone and we had loads of people in the town, right up to today, pissed off that they didn’t get a chance to get a ticket. These old folk… there are grannies down here with a WhatsApp group for a knitting group, another for the bowls club… I was in Costa about a week ago with an 80 yr old explaining WhatsApp to her son (even though he knew about it) then go on to say “I’ve got eight or nine WhatsApp groups and then there’s the family ones…” Her own son (from earwigging it) came down from Birmingham to see her, was stunned. I was just laughing. My neighbour is a 76yr old guy, he’s got his mobility scooter and a blue tooth speaker and goes along the seafront with Iron Maiden blaring out, he was telling me a while back he had to delete a WhatsApp group because he accidentally put his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend in the same group as his current girlfriend… So Eastbourne may well fill the Winter Gardens when Blur play, with loads of absolutely mental OAP’s Tuesday, an old guy was sat outside my place in a battered VW camper van, smoking a huge spliff listening to Eminem at an ear splitting volume.

it’s so great to see them back together!

For a 53 yr old seeing Alex missing a tooth and sporting a big belly makes me feel better about myself. We were all young and skinny once.

Damon just loves having digs at Alex does he? 😂

Saw them in Bogota very recently. Absolutely fantastic.

They are back and better than ever.

Damon throwing jokes glad they're having fun together

Agree with Andy Bush, Graham Coxon, is among the greatest Brit guitar players.. He is underrated and has done great melodic riffs and parts..

This interview revealed the fact that Alex James is truly forntman of Blur 😂

They are in great shape. Their live sound sounds even better and more full of energy, and vitality than maybe 20 something years ago. Back on your feet lads, please do us and yourselves a big favour, make noise, music, gigs, shows, in other words... keep doing what you are doing because there are thousands, maybe millions of people who need to to listen to real great tunes. You guys are the very few around who can make great beautiful sings and outperform yourselves like it is something easy to do. There's plenty of youth in your eyes, and if the eyes are a reflection of the souls, you have more than you need to place lots of songs at the top of every chart, billboards, you name it. So make the most of it. GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU.

Awesome to have Blur back,fantastic 👌👏👏

I had to treble check to ensure this video wasn't 10 years old of something like that. What a fantastic bit of news!!!

Wembley was amazing.

Come to Africa guys, I would be over the moon if I can attend a Blur show!

(Relieved sigh), There is again hope in our dim dark world.

Alex mentioned four gigs in South America, but only Argentina and Colombia have been announced. I hope Brazil is about to be confirmed as well.

Im so happy happy I will get to seek them live for the first time in Porto in 2 weeks

What a fantastic interview.

i love these guys

I’m super excited 🎉

I thought this was a great interview, with all participants adding thoughtful comments. Then I read this comments section and can only shake my head.

2009 was an expensive year for me, it was the year of my brothers 18th so I got me and him weekend tickets to download so I could see Faith No More, then I won tickets to Sonisphere to see Metallica and then Blur announced they were reforming and playing shows in Hyde Park. I couldn’t pass that up, they were brilliant live and if I get the opportunity I will be going to see hem live again but hopefully somewhere a bit closer to home.

Graham is still so sweet and Damon is still incredibly attractive❤

wow wow wow is this a dream or what ♥

Glad they've returned with what's looking like a solid album, not just a cash grab (ahem, Stone Roses). I wondered whether the sad departure of our mutual friend, Mr Ross (RIP), had something to do with the engine firing back up on all cylinders..?

Wish there were no edits. Would love to see the whole interview .

Been stuck in traffic and can hear them from afar, free concert anyone!?

Great!

i wish graham got to talk some more :( also why is everyone in the comments so angry about something???

Please come to Australia!!!!!!!!

Radio presenter didn't do himself any favours with this interview - tedious questions!

“That they feel our pain” 😂

Coxon turned into Peter Sellers

Feeling your pain Damon ...feeling your pain.

Its afternoon this interview i imagined it to be morning earlier

Never realised before that Pete from Gavin and Stacey was in Blur

Could it be a battle of blur and oasis again? Like in the mid 90s? Bring it on

Wow they got older so fast

What is Damon’s problem? It's like he has it out for Alex, and for what reason? I hope stuff like this doesn't break them up

Great interviewer.

Oasis should also make a comeback coz im pretty sure it will be a hit since oasis and blur are rivals as what we call in d 90 s as britpop.

Is the new album out already? Or when does it drop?

Bush living the dream

You can really tell damon does not like Alex one bit. So much tension

I'm a huge fan of Damon but when he talks about having no ego I can't help but cringe

Is that a wig on Alex? 🤔😄

If I'm honest, I'm getting the vibe that this reunion is just for the money and they don't really seem bothered about their new album.

Oasis, your move.

"Less than 20".... It's 24 shows :)

Alex James being constantly ribbed by Damon Albarn. Echoes of the Stone Roses reunion press conference, and we all know what happened there!

Who’s replacing slowthai? Weller please

So if Blur are back guess Oasis will soon follow suit ? Come on !

What the hell? There was a new Blur album since July 2023 and I didn't even hear about it?

How spiky is Damon to Alex - I don’t think they get along!

Damon's tooth is getting whistly as balls

When did Simon Jordan join Blur?

Damon albarn whistles while he speaks

If these guys get back together i expect Oasis to reunite and they do a co-headlining tour!

Great band. But Damon’s voice whistle is bloody irritating

Ironic that Damon says is not about ego when he has the biggest in the whole band.

Steve cradock great guitarist aswell.

i love these people but i have no idea what damon means when he says there should be 'no ego' in getting up on stage and singing to thousands of people, it is virtually 100% ego, and that is not a problem at all

Is it me or does Damon have young Harry Enfield vibes going on???

Maybe this will get oasis off their ass and get back together

Alex James. A great cheese maker.

FUN FACT: The same voice actor does both Graham Coxon and Ronnie O'Sullivan

Nice, keep it up! We'd like to add you on our blog

Alex has obviously been on the cheese & beer thing a little too much. But I do like the new song, very much.

Saw them at Wembley on the 8th July and they were fantastic. Fourth time watching them live and just as good as when I first saw them back in the nineties. Thank you Blur for such a great night and the last thirty odd years.

Love how consistently grumpy Damon is in any public setting....its one of life's constants...

Is anyone else getting chills just seeing the four of them sitting together in 2023

I only saw blur once in the mid 90s and id love to see them again. I'm the same age and seeing these guys still mates and being creative is so inspirational.

I’m glad they are grown up enough to get back together make a new album and give the fans what they want unlike a fellow 90’s band…

Mr. Albarn and Mr. James butting heads since the 1990’s.

thank god you back.blur is my favorite band

so excited to see them at wembley ❤ i never thought i’d be able to see them live. i’m seeing pulp first then blur a week later. happy days!

I love how Damon looks at his watch at 12.20 and then talks about something that happened 35 years ago

Good to see them back. Always amused the way Graham sounds exactly like Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap!

They were amazing at Wembley last weekend…utterly smashed it

Graham is so handsome in the thumbnail I think I'm gonna pass out 😭

Graham Coxon has come out with some most 'excellent...' music, so often since leaving Blur! I think it's also much underrated.

I wish they did a few shows in Canada. I can't afford to see them in Europe. Very happy that there's a new album.

There's a real purity to their ongoing reconnections and it's lovely to see. That it produces more worthwhile music is a nice bonus.

Omg watching them together like this made me realised am old too 😢

Fuck sake, Can't hear a word any of them are saying apart from Alex and the DJ. How hard is it to mike them up properly and increase the input levels if they lean back off the mikes.?? DOH! Love the band and the new single. ...calm again.
