Albarn too busy for Blur reunion

DAMON ALBARN doesn't have time to work on a Blur comeback album because he is too busy with Gorillaz.

Rapper Kano claimed today that Albarn said he plans to concentrate on the third Gorillaz LP before considering any new Blur material.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Kano, who collaborated with Albarn on his album London Town, said: "I went into the studio with Damon a while ago. We worked on a demo idea that he came up with in Lagos in Africa.

"We went back and actually produced the idea. It just so happened that I added a little bit on a couple of tracks he gave me. It's all sounding good."

"The album's not wrapped up yet. I think the process Damon goes through is that he makes loads of demos, then cuts them down and starts getting into the production. He's at that stage now where he's finishing off the record."

Blur announced last December that they were reuniting for a new tour but have yet to commit to releasing new music in the future.
