Gorillaz Are Not Breaking Up; Taking Time Away From Each Other
According to a post by Jamie Hewlett’s son, Denholm, on Gorillaz-Unofficial, Gorillaz are not split up as previously reported, but instead, are spending time away from each other to work on their individual projects.
Denholm posted the following: “Hey everyonee, listen, i just spoke to my dad and told him about this, and he said its rubbish, they have kinda fallen out, just not about the reasons stated above in the article, they’re just taking time apart from each other to work on other projects 🙂 gorillaz are not gunna split up, its fine 🙂 ignore this tabloid x”
Gorillaz Break Up
Looks like another breakup is on the horizon. Just days after LCD Soundsystem and The White Stripes announced their breakups, Gorillaz will reportedly also throw in the towel. The People has reported that Gorillaz will split due to arguments between Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. One “massive argument” after the band’s world tour “basically ended things.” Furthermore, “things haven’t been great for a while” between Albarn and Hewlett.
We’ll keep you updated on new information about the breakup. At present, The People, one of the UK’s biggest Sunday newspapers, is the only source of this report.
UPDATE: According to Jamie’s son, Denholm, the Gorillaz are not breaking up, but are “taking time apart from each other to work on other projects.”
New Member of the Gorillaz
A new member has been added to the Gorillaz, based on a fan-submitted design from the character competition contest. The new character is called “The Evangelist” and has been redrawn by Gorillaz co-creator/animator Jamie Hewlett.
According to the Gorillaz website, “‘The Evangelist’ is the opposite of ‘The Boogieman;’ the light to his awful shade…’The Evangelist’ is a similar entity, but the flip-side of ‘The Boogieman.’ He/she may even be revealed as ‘The Boogieman’s’ avenger. His/her outer appearance is yet to be defined.”
