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 was a brat throughout Britpop. There was so much to rail towards. However I ought to have been more 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 enterprise. But a much bigger drawback was when my own individuals started speaking in that language. When all of it turned about breaking America, or no matter.

When individuals grow old their music gets garbage. You’ve discovered a bit extra about your self, mellowed out, perhaps finished a little bit of therapy… – that younger, fiery, uncompromising outlook you once had begins to get the sides knocked out of it. I’m not talking about myself, clearly.
