Blur frontman Damon Albarn has revealed that he rekindled his friendship with guitarist Graham Coxon over a cake.
"We just went for a walk and bought a bun, I think it was an Eccles cake, and sat in a doorway,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Front Row programme.
"It really felt like it was back to how it was when we were younger.”
The pair’s revitalised friendship was one of the driving forces behind the band’s recent reunion.
As previously reported on Gigwise, Blur will play two concerts in London’s Hyde Park next July.
Albarn said that he hoped the gigs would see them reinvent some of their most successful songs.
"I am determined to do a version of Country House that works," he said.
"Graham playing [a] really nice picky, folky thing and my friend David Coulter playing the whole tune on saw, and letting the audience [sing].
"If there was any song that I really wanted to exercise and be reborn, it would be that one, because, you know, it was such a stupid moment."
