Blur reunion plans on ice

Blur have no current plans to record together again, despite confirmed reports of a full band meeting earlier this month.

Damon Albarn, Alex James and Dave Rowntree are understood to have held a reunion lunch last week, with estranged guitarist Graham Coxon.

The group have now released a statement confirming the appointment but denying that it will lead to new music from the definitive line-up.

It reads: "In light of recent press speculation, blur.co.uk would like to confirm that Alex, Damon, Dave and Graham met for an enjoyable lunch on Monday, but there are currently no other music plans for Blur."

The last Blur album, 2003's "Think Tank", was the first not to feature Coxon, who left during sessions for the album, choosing to pursue his solo career.
