I've heard about this for a while, but the record company keeps denying it. NME says it's probably true. http://www.nme.com/news/102828.htm This paragraph made me chuckle: Tabloid press rumours of a split in the BLUR camp have appeared to gain some credence after GRAHAM COXON revealed to NME.COM that he didn’t even know that his band mates had been to Morocco to record parts for the new album.
