Blur guitarist Graham Coxon has explained why the much-feted Blur reunion never occurred.

Graham Coxon, who left Blur in 2002, has spoken about his band's imminent reunion, saying he is "raring to record".

A series of digital radios signed by a variety of rock stars, including Noel Gallagher, Graham Coxon, Jet and Editors are to be auctioned on-line to raise money for charity.

Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has hinted that the band, including previously absent guitarist Graham Coxon, are to record together in September. Rumors have been ciculating for a while that the original members of the group are to unite to work on their first record together since 1999's 13.
