Damon Albarn Recording New Solo, Blur Material
One of Britain’s busiest and much-revered rock stars, Damon Albarn confirms the release of a new solo album as a “definite possibility.” Albarn told Rolling Stone that he plans to record with Blur during their free time amidst a schedule of festival appearances this summer.
