Alex James Claims Blur Have ‘Got A New Song To Unveil’

Alex James told Jeremy Clarkson that Blur have ‘got a new song to unveil.’

The Blur bassist told the Top Gear host on yesterday’s show (4th March) that the band will be playing a brand new song that is a ‘tear-jerker’ and is ‘like a hymn’.

The bassist claimed the band will showcase this new track at their massive gig in London’s Hyde Park this summer, which takes place on August 12th.

The show sees Blur as headliners to a bill which also features The Specials and New Order, as part of the closing ceremony for this year’s Olympic Games.
