Alex James: 'I'll Be Surprised If Blur Reunion Doesn't Happen'

Blur bassist Alex James has said he would be surprised if the band doesn’t make another album.

Speaking at the opening of a new photograph exhibition in London, which highlights the effects of the Columbian drugs trade, James said his only doubt would be over each member’s time commitments.

"We're all pretty busy but I'd be surprised if it never happens,” he said. “But I would be terrified if it was happening on Monday."

Talking about the photos at the exhibition, James told BBC 6Music that he hoped it would “put a few dinks in the impenetrable sheen that it (cocaine) has.”

"When you show people pictures of monkeys having their houses destroyed so people can take some more drugs then that’s more engaging somehow, I don’t know why - so I think this is an excellent initiative by the Colombian government basically showing people big pictures of rainforests with holes in,” he said.
