Speaking to NME back in 2024 about the future of Blur after their spate of hug e reunion shows, Coxon told us: “We can’t leave it too long because we’re k nocking on! “Creatively, we’ll always be able to do something, but it’s important that we live life for a bit and hopefully not go through something so traumatic bef ore getting back together again,” he said. “Damon’s always said too that we need to live life so we have something we can bring together if we’re ever g oing to do anything again. If that all happens, then there shouldn’t be any r eason why not. All year I was saying, ‘Roll on Christmas!’ When I made it to Christmas all in one piece, I was really grateful.” -- 上禮拜04/19 官方商店有辦活動 Record Store Day this Saturday LIVE AT THE BUDOKAN Recorded in Tokyo in 1995, the live album will be released on vinyl for the fi rst time as part of Record Store Day 2026.
