What did Blur say about Wembley concerts?
Speaking to ITV ahead of the Wembley Stadium shows, Blur's Damon Albarn said: "It’s amazing for Graham and me to sit here, having started off in our little humble Portakabin in Colchester at the age of 12 and to be here, thank you very much everybody"
Guitarist Graham Coxon explained that "you’ve always got to try and shrink a place, to make it feel like a club". He added: "That can be a hard if the gap between the stage and front row is big, it’s like a huge moat sometimes. It’s not too bad here at Wembley Stadium."
