“It is all incredibly exciting and the band are all totally on board and are clearing their schedules ready to get going again.”

When asked about a reunion, Damon said: “I am just about to have a conversation with people about Blur and I would love to sing all those songs again.

“I miss the songs. I miss playing with Blur.”

During the interview he went on to admit the revival was “not something I would do just for the sake of it,” adding: “There has to be a really good reason to do it all again and then I will wholeheartedly engage with it.”

As a band Blur stood out as the leaders of the Nineties Britpop movement.

They finally hit the big time following the release of their third record Park Life, which went straight to the No1 spot in 1994.

Blur went onto have three consecutive No1 albums before the Best Of…was released in 2000 and reached No3.

They were back three years later with their No1 album Think Tank but had to wait 12 years to emulate that success with The Magic Whip in 2015.
