Damon Albarn U-Turns On Comments Regarding Future Of Blur & Gorillaz

Musical genius Damon Albarn has told fans that his bands Blur and Gorillaz are not over for good – just weeks after revealing that the Olympics Closing Ceremony would be Blur's last gig.
Albarn has been playing with his fans emotions recently, with stories suggesting that a new Blur record would be on the way, to telling them that Blur wouldn't perform again after their Olympic gig. He's even tried to can his cartoon-based side project Gorillaz, and told fans that it would be 'unlikely' to see anything coming from them either.
But now, Albarn has backtracked – and told Metro that the neither band is finished.
Asked by the paper about the comments and whether Blur and Gorillaz were officially over, he said: “No. That comes from an article which was an interesting take on a very long conversation. I don't know how we'll feel when we play Hyde Park. Some days I feel one way and other days I feel the other. If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.”
He added: “We want to put on a great performance but nothing's been said between us about the beginning or the end.”
Then, when asked about Gorillaz, Albarn replied: “When Jamie [Hewlett] and I have worked out our differences, I'm sure we'll make another record.”
