Blur star Damon Albarn has said that drugs ruined the hit Brit Pop band and said heroin has ‘muddied’ a lot of lives.

Albarn makes the revelation in a new documentary film, where he admits that the band fell apart after their infamous chart battle with Oasis in 1995.

The band’s on/off guitarist, Graham Coxon, told how he smashed up the tour bus before trying to jump out of a window and kill himself.

Talking about track Beetlebum, Albarn said: “That whole period, a lot of people’s lives were muddied.”

Coxon added: “I was getting more and more unbalanced with it. I was out there. I was c**p to be around.”

Alex James has confused kids

The bassist from Blur has apparently managed to dazzle his children with his occupation, so much so that they believe he is actually a conductor. Alex James said the following about his children’s confusion: “Yes, they think I’m a conductor, or they did until recently. They wanted to be conductors until recently, now I think they want to sing. Bad choice.” Right, shows how much Alex James trusts his kids. I’m sure he’ll be going all lawyers and doctors on them from now on… it’s not like his own profession has been to kind to him or brought him the least meagre amount of success.

Blur will be featured in a new movie

The famous British group will be the subject of a documentary that will tell the story of their rise to fame, the peak of their glory and their steady downfall… and maybe the stuff that led to their present-day reunion. A source said the following about the upcoming project: “Everyone in the Blur camp is really excited. There’s plenty of material to fit in – their first five years of struggle, their Britpop heyday with all the drinking and their gradual and bitter demise.” Sounds dreamy, the whole story of Blur in one neat little package… what’s a bit strange is that the band would be so eager to let the world see how they managed to screw everything up because of drinking.
