Damon Albarn has said that a Blur reunion could be possible in the future – despite rumours suggesting that it was he who was holding back a possible reformation.
Last month Graham Coxon responded to comments by Albarn, after the frontman suggested that Blur were "over".
However, Albarn has since told BBC Newsbeat that far from being "over", a reunion could be on the cards.
"It's very possible I'll go back to Blur," he said, "it really is very possible."
Albarn went on to say that he had smoothed things over with Coxon. "Graham and I have been hanging out together a bit," he said. "We had lunch the other day. He's great, it's fantastic to get my old friend back. So it's good, but I can't really say any more than that."
In July, bassist Alex James revealed that Blur were offered a Glastonbury 2008 headline and suggested that Albarn scuppered their chances of accepting.
Albarn though warned not to expect a reunion soon, explaining that he his currently working on a new Gorillaz record.
"I'm halfway through the next Gorillaz album at the minute, That's going to be interesting and different again," he said. "This next time around there will be a lot going on in it."
Damon Albarn meanwhile is staging his opera 'Monkey: A Journey To The West' in London later this month.
