Blur to perform at 2012 Brit Awards
Bassist Alex James confirms the band will play after receiving outstanding contribution to music award
Blur have confirmed they will perform at the 2012 Brit awards. The group will celebrate their outstanding contribution to music trophy by playing their first gig since 2009, bassist Alex James has revealed. "We're going to play, which is brilliant," he said. "It's like putting the Blues Brothers back together."
It has been two weeks since plans were announced to honour Blur at the Brit awards in February. But the band remained evasive about whether they would perform; although James, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree have often met up, and even recorded together, they haven't played live since closing 2009's T in the Park.
James has now put speculation to rest. Thanks to the Brits announcement, he said, "we all remembered how much we loved being a band.
"I saw the guys this week, we had a Christmas cuppa … I had always said in interviews I didn't miss being in a band, but that reminded me I did."
James also fanned the flames of a future Blur tour. "Well, let's hope," he said. "Heritage year next year." Albarn has previously hinted at a possible visit to the US, pointing out the reunited Blur never crossed the Atlantic. "Who knows what will happen," James said, "but there is a lot to look forward to."
Previous winners of the outstanding contribution to music prize include Paul McCartney, U2, Queen and the Who.

The-Dream: "I Won’t Be Producing Ciara’s New Album"
As Ciara plots her chart return, all eyes are on who the singer has enlisted to craft her comeback effort. One such figure many hope not to see is hitmaker The-Dream. Ironic, it would seem, as a ‘hit’ is exactly what the 25 year old’s career is in dire need of.
Yet, meaty combo of their patchy output and Dream’s detrimental comments, have left many a Ms. Harris fan with a salty taste in their mouth when it comes to the producer – real name Terius Nash.
A taste they won’t to worry about much longer, though. For, the ‘Single Ladies’ mastermind has revealed that he will not be contributing to Super C’s Epic Records debut – in any capacity.
Brandy is in the studio with Frank Ocean
Brandy is working on her sixth studio effort and has recruited hotter-than-hot artist Frank Ocean. Brandy said the pair has "great chemistry." She said, "We both understand music in the same ways," according to BET.
She further stated, "To work with him on this album was great as well, and I hope I can get in [the studio] with him some more because his music is just so moving; I'm inspired by him. I think he's a great artist and he hasn't even touched on what he will touch on in the future."
Brandy's latest will drop in March 2012.
Are you looking forward to Brandy's latest?
