Blur is Done
Despite recent rumors there are no future plans for the newly reunited band, Blur. The Britpop band has fulfilled their promised duties and have all gone on their own ways to pursue solo work.
Alex James recently stated, “[We have not talked about] doing anything else whatsoever. [The gigs were] what we said we’d do and we did it and it was great. It hasn’t been mentioned the idea of doing anything else but hey, it was great.”
Rumors were circulating that new compilations and recordings would surface as well as an American tour. These rumors have been squashed.
I can’t help but feel it is just like picking up that LFO or 98 Degrees CD from my shelf. Those CDs are fun to listen to and capture the glory of my pre-teen years, but any new material from those bands would just be embarrassing and below their potential as artists. Maybe it is even best to leave things as they were so that moment in time is not ruined. New material is not always a good thing. Or just maybe Blur is a group of smart men who know if they come back slowly here and there in small doses, there will be a higher demand. That is exactly how economics work.
