Damon Albarn - The British Masters Season 4, Chapter 4
Рет қаралды 165,078
Күн бұрынAfter Liam Gallagher, Tracey Thorn, Dizzee Rascal and Johnny Marr, Blur legend Damon Albarn joins host John Doran to be inducted as a British Master.
One of the most famous and hard working faces in the contemporary musical landscape, Albarn rose to prominence as the frontman of the world bestriding Blur. He has since become known for his seemingly never ending supply of side projects and collaborations, Gorillaz being the most globally renowned. We spoke to him in his West London studio about the release of his new album with supergroup The Good, The Bad and The Queen.

I can't help thinking that in some years' time, when the EU is definitely a thing of the past and we're all relieved it is, Remainers will feel embarrassed looking back at this post Brexit referendum nightmare bullshit.
