Waiting around for a new Blur album? Don’t hold your breath. Blur guitarist Graham Coxon has put a nix to hopes of a new Blur album dropping at any point soon via Twitter. In response to a fan’s tweet asking, “Is there a new Blur album coming out? If so, when,” Coxon tweeted an unequivocal “no.”
Don’t fret too much, though, as Blur have a headlining show at the Rock Werchter festival in Belgium lined up for next summer. The band shared the news with fans via a post on their official website: “Thank you for waiting … Rock Werchter is about to announce that Blur will headline next July. We’re excited … hope to travel in 2013 to play to more of our lovely fans who we haven’t seen for a while. Don’t know where yet, we’ll tell as soon as we do.” So, Blur are still alive and kicking.
