And there's more reunion news. Could Blur be on the verge of getting back together?

Damon Albarn has hinted this is indeed could be the case after recently meeting up with guitarist Graham Coxon. "It's very possible I'll go back to Blur," Albarn told BBC 6Music. "It really is very possible. The truth be known Graham and I have been hanging out together a bit. We had lunch the other day. He's great, it's fantastic to get my old friend back. So it's good but I can't really say any more than that."
