Blur's Alex James has revealed in an exclusive interview with Gigwise that Blur hope to reunite with Graham Coxon for one last album.
The bassist has revealed that all three members of Blur are now talking to Coxon again, and are optimistic he could rejoin the band for recording next year.
James told Gigwise, “We've all been talking to each other recently and I chatted to Graham the other week. It seems everyone has kiss and made up now and there could be a happy ending.”
James also adds, “We're going back into the studio next year to record and obviously we all want Graham on board, but we will make a record with or without him, but we're all friends now. It's looking hopeful. Watch this space.”
James told the BBC : "I've got high hopes that Blur will have a happy four-piece ending. I think it would be a shame if it didn't really. I think we'd all like to make another record. We'd all like to do it with Graham . I've been talking to Graham a bit and hopefully I can persuade him. I'm going to have to beg him though." Coxon left Blur in 2002 amid speculation of a fall out with school-friend Damon Albarn , but has since gone on to forge a successful solo career.
Two members of Blur are currently active with other musical projects, with Albarn launching The Good, The Bad & The Queen , his new band featuring former Clash bassist Paul Simonon and ex – Verve guitarist Simon Tong last weekend. Source Gigwise
