Graham Coxon speaks out

Graham Coxon is not leaving Blur, despite claims that he has walked-out on the band, dotmusic can reveal.

Coxon was this morning reported to have quit Blur after a series of arguments with frontman Damon Albarn, as the group continue work on their new album.

However, dotmusic has learnt that the rumours, which have been circulating in the UK press and on the internet, are false, despite the fact that Blur are currently in the studio without the guitarist.

Coxon, speaking today, explained: "It's just those three ladies (3am the Daily Mirror gossip columnists) causing mischief again".

"I've known Damon Albarn since I was 12. Any arguments we have are very quickly resolved - we're beyond any really serious bust-ups. Honestly, I'm in Blur and enjoying making the new album", he told Teletext.

Blur are currently in a London recording studio putting together the new record with Norman 'Fatboy Slim' Cook. Coxon is believed to be working on his new solo album.
