Graham Coxon: ‘Music has always been there for me’

The Blur guitarist, 53, on his addictive character, making music as you age and being a Britpop brat

I used to be a brat during Britpop. There was so much to rail towards. However I should have been extra grateful for my luck and taken care of myself better and tried to take pleasure in it innocently. My drawback with Blur was when it turned a business. However a much bigger drawback was when my own individuals began speaking in that language. When it all turned about breaking America, or whatever.

When individuals become old their music will get rubbish. You’ve discovered a bit extra about your self, mellowed out, perhaps achieved a little bit of remedy… – that young, fiery, uncompromising outlook you as soon as had starts to get the sides knocked out of it. I’m not speaking about myself, obviously.
