… Albarn can’t relax. His monitors are giving him trouble. He taps the mike, marches up to the mixing desk and explodes: ‘Merde, man! I’ve got nothing. No wonder I’m struggling. Fuck me!’ The crowd is bemused by this rather original tantrum in Franglais, but moments later, he apologises, all blue-eyed beams.

The cult of personality has become so unbalanced in our society that it’s not cool any more. Although being famous is fantastic if they haven’t got a place for high tea at Claridge’s on a Sunday for my mother in law’s birthday treat.

Blurb: So I kind of get the impression that you keep going back to Blur because you've got an emotional attachment to it.
Damon: Yeah, exactly. I have. I totally have. It's part of my life. On paper I'm more successful now than I've ever been - but that's never been my modus operandi. I do feel commitment to everything related to Blur and I won't let the whole thing disappear, you know, because I believe in happy endings. I do.
