Alex James has said that Blur reuniting took him by surprise.
The original four members of the band announced yesterday (December 9) that they will play a gig in London's Hyde Park on July 3 next year.
Writing his weekly column in The Independent, James declared: "Looks like I've got my old job back. Out of nowhere, just when I was least expecting it."
He added: "Blur are going to do a show in Hyde Park one night next summer. Easy come, easy go. Whatever. Should be good though."
