Graham Coxon Nearly Driven To Suicide By Blur Vs Oasis Chart BattleMay 8, 2009
Graham Coxon has revealed that the Blur vs Oasis Britpop battle almost caused just jump out of a sixth-story window.
Speaking about the aftermath of the 'Country House' vs 'Roll With It' chart war, Coxon admitted that he didn't feel comfortable celebrating what he called a “hollow, pointless victory”. He told XFM: "It was the climax to the so-called Blur/Oasis war. 'Country House' had outsold 'Roll With It' and went straight to the top of the charts. “Our record company threw a big champagne party at Soho House in London. I felt I was being forced into enjoying the moment and I just wanted to be alone really. “I couldn't handle being part of that crowd so I tried to jump out of a sixth-storey window. It was Damon who talked me out of it. Looking back, I should have enjoyed myself a lot more than I did during the Blur days." On Britpop itself, he added that it, "was a grotesque travesty. It was meant to make Britain look cool but made us all look like a joke." (by Daniel Melia) See also: Noel Gallagher Backs LS Lowry Campaign (26.04.2011)
