ICONIC Britpop band Blur has announced the release of a new feature-length documentary. 

The Song 2 stars, who originate from Colchester, will release Blur: To The End on July 19.

The film will depict the most recent period in the band's career, following the release of their first record in eight years, The Ballad of Darren, which came out in July 2023.

It will take fans and viewers into the early days of the album, as Damon Albarn, Dave Rowntree, Alex James and Graham Coxon looked to record new songs ahead of performing at Wembley Stadium for the first time, in front of a sold-out crowd.

Frontman, Damon, who went to the Stanway School, said: “I don't think any of us thought we'd make another record, especially not a record like this.

"I suppose that's why I wanted to try and make it as good as possible."

"We all have hugely involving and complicated lives and we're so lucky that we get to spend this time together, just the four of us. And that's the beauty of it..."

The movie will also document the more intimate moments shared between the band members. 

Graham, who was also educated at the Stanway School, added: "With each other... in the nineties, it was a very intense time.

"On the same sort of level as a relationship, or marriages and things like that.

"I think it's okay to say that time apart was taken up with other friendships and just sort of recuperating or doing other things."
