Blur announce new documentary film focusing on their recent reunion trends now
Blur have delighted fans by announcing a new feature-length film that documents their recent reunion.
The band shared a trailer for 'blur: To The End' on their social media channels on Tuesday, revealing that the movie will be shown in UK and Irish cinemas from 19th July.
Directed by Toby L, the film goes behind the scenes as the iconic English rock band came back together after almost 10 years for their 2023 album The Ballad of Darren.
The band, made up of Graham Coxon, Alex James, Damon Albarn and Dave Rowntree, went on hiatus in 2015 and then announced their reunion news last year before performing a string of gigs at Wembley for the first time ever.
In the trailer, the camera cuts between shots of the band performing at a packed-out gig reunion gig and more serene scenes of them wading in the sea and talking about their lives post-fame.

'But what's wonderful is as soon as the four of us get in a room together, it's just exactly the same as it was when we were all 19.'
Graham Coxon, 55, lead guitarist and secondary vocalist for the band, chimed in with: 'In the '90s, it was a very intense time. On the same sort of level as a relationship, or marriages and things like that.
Frontman Damon Albarn, 56, added: 'I think it's okay to say that time apart was taken up with other friendships and just sort of recuperating
