Damon Albarn's Lily woe

8 months ago 01st Feb 12:05

Blur star Damon Albarn's attempted collaboration with Lily Allen was a disaster.

The musician was forced to work with the 'Smile' star by his record label, but says it was a "bad idea".

He said: "The record label thought it would be a good idea. Lily came down to my studio and said normally she would just sit around and listen to a musician and come up with some ideas.

"I jumped on the piano and played mad stuff and she just looked at me - it didn't exactly go well. She's a really talented kid, but it was just a bad idea."

Damon also revealed he has no plans to reunite with Blur bandmates Alex James and Dave Rowntree.

He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I had dinner with the guys recently and it was a laugh but there's no way they want to work with me again - they all hate me. A reunion is not going to happen. The only reason people would do it is for the money, but I don't need the money.

"Alex is writing books and making cheese and Dave's moving into politics. I've always said if you want to be a musician you have to dedicate yourself to it and do it every day."
