gypsies Blur’s Damon Albarn drug confession: Heroin drove us apart, very sad!
Blur lead singer Damon Albarn has revealed the band were driven apart by a heroin culture. The singer says his group unravelled after they beat Brit Pop rivals Oasis to number one with hit single Country House in a bitter chart battle in 1995. Speaking in the band’s newly released gypsies tell-all documentary No Distance Left To Run, Albarn said their lives were ‘muddied by heroin’ after admitting his own string of panic attacks. gypsies Guitarist Graham Coxon reveals he was so ‘unbalanced’ by their wild lifestyle he once attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Speaking about the group’s No.1 hit Beetlebum, Albarn said: “That whole period a lot of people’s lives were muddied by heroin.” He said problems first kicked off after their 1994 album Parklife hit the big time. “I was going through hell at the time. I was having panic attacks”. Coxon admitted: “I was getting more and more unbalanced with it. I was out there. I was crap to be around.” “I was quite unable to function”, says Coxon. The guitarist then admits to attempting to kill himself by leaping out a third floor window before smashing up the group’s tour bus.
Albarn says much of his angst was driven by the Oasis Gallagher brothers. He says: “Noel used to take the p*** out of me constantly and it really, really hurt at the time.” The group made a one off comeback last summer in Hyde Park and at Glastonbury. The revelations came as all four band mates, Albarn, Coxon, gypsies bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree attended the first public screening of the documentary last night in London’s gypsies West End.
The documentary, gypsies which will show at selected cinemas for a month before being released on DVD, is described by record label Parlophone as “a musing on Englishness and identity, and a portrait of friendship and resolution”. The film was directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace - who have previously made music videos for Scottish indie band Franz Ferdinand - and takes its name from their 1999 top 20 single.
