The Sydney Morning Herald story also reports that Albarn is currently writing a West End theatre musical adaptation of a children’s book.

When asked about future plans for Blur, Albarn says, “I would imagine there’s some kind of future,” he says warily, “but at the moment there’s no time for the future – only the present. Who knows? I’m reluctant to say anything, because if I do, it just gets taken out of context and then I’m accused of being a wind-up.”
