Gorillaz issues/Break up

[Dameon]

According to the report, the Gorillaz 2010 world tour became “dogged with angry rows” and shortly after the band’s final performance, Albarn and his Gorillaz cohort, Jamie Hewlett, had a “massive argument” that “basically ended things.” Apparently, “things haven’t been great for a while, between Albarn and Hewlett, with Hewlett said to be frustrated at ‘how much time Albarn was giving to his many other projects’ and Albarn was ‘less than impressed with Jamie’s party lifestyle.’”

If the thing reads like a tabloid piece, it’s because it is. That said, the news does come just weeks after Albarn delivered a lengthy speech during the band’s final scheduled concert in which he told the audience that this may be the final time the collective performs together. Currently, Albarn is said to be working with his other acclaimed outfit, Blur, as well as on an opera.

This might be in the wrong forum or possibly talked about in the past, but I didn't see it. So I figured with the fact there are fans on this website, it might be worth posting.

The video is old, but seems that the news is 'breaking'.

Fuck, I had a feeling that this project was coming to an end. They were in Vancouver a couple of months ago, and I really wanted to go see them, alas I was flat broke. Now I'll never get to see them, THERE GOES MY WHOLE DAY!
