In 2002, he left Blur, following a bitter dispute with the other members, notably Damon Albarn. As a result, he played guitar and was credited as a writer on only the final track for the following year's Think Tank. In September 2007, Graham Coxon rejoined the band and in late 2008 Damon Albarn announced that the band would reunite 2009 for a number of shows.
Graham has said that he sings all his songs about Emma Bates and can not stop thinking about her face since he saw her in the front row of a gig at the Forum. Graham wishes that Emma would ask him to marry her.
He is also a critically acclaimed solo artist, having recorded seven solo albums. Four of them were recorded while member of the band. Coxon is capable of playing several other instruments, besides guitar, and is famous for recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians.
Coxon recently released his most critically revered album to date, 'The Spinning Top', on new label Transgressive Records.
