Blur end their summer comeback
Blur guitarist Graham Coxon shrugged off a bout of food poisoning to play the band's final reunion gig at T in the Park. It was feared the band would miss their last scheduled gig when Coxon was admitted to a nearby hospital in Kinross-shire, Scotland. The boys finally arrived on the Main Stage almost an hour-and-a-half later than scheduled and frontman Damon Albarn told the sell-out crowd of 85,000: "We nearly didn't make it. Graham literally walked out of a hospital to come here. He's all right. This is our last gig." They launched into the band's 1990 debut single She's So High and followed with a version of Coffee and TV while Country House got the crowd cheering. Blur joined a host of big name bands, including the Kings of Leon, the Pet Shop Boys, Keane and the Killers. On July 2, Blur rocked London's Hyde Park for their much-hyped reunion concert and went on to thrill festival-goers at Glastonbury with a two-hour set.
