Damon Albarn will release his second solo album in November. Albarn had originally intended for 'The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows' to be an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland, but during lockdown, the 53-year-old singer returned to the music and reformed them into 11 tracks.

Alex James has hinted Blur could perform at the Big Feastival.

Elton John has collaborated with a number of different artists this year but the most important for him was playing piano and lending vocals on ‘The Pink Phantom’ for Gorillaz’ latest project 'Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez' because he enjoyed working with the frontman so much.

Damon Albarn understands that the health crisis is a "medical emergency" but insists it is also an "existential one" too as he urged governments to allow people to play and listen to live music if they wish to.

Noel Gallagher was asked by his Twitter followers if he'd be up for teaming up with his former band's biggest Britpop rivals Blur's lead singer, but the Gallagher was less than impressed.

Damon Albarn will take his new project 'The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows' - which is inspired by the landscapes of Iceland and was written in the country - to the London's West End theatre on June 3.

A brand new studio album from Gorillaz titled The Now Now will be released by Warner Bros. Records on June 29th, and is available for pre-order now with two instant grat songs, "Humility" and "Lake Zurich."
