Blur has released a new clip from their upcoming documentary called “To The End.” The clip features the moments before Damon Albarn and the band took to the stage at Wembley last year. In the clip, we see a sell-out crowd at the Wembley Arena as Albarn, Alex James, Dave Rowntree, and Graham Coxon huddle together and share a laugh before heading out on stage. The clip ends with Blur walking on stage to deafening applause. According to Albarn, he doesn’t allow it to get to him as he accepts that if his voice can’t sing all those songs, then that’s just the way it is.
The documentary will follow the unique relationship of four friends and bandmates of three decades, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree. “To The End” will show how they came together in early 2023 to record new songs ahead of their sold-out, first-ever shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in July last summer. “Blur: To The End” is due for release in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on July 19.
The documentary will be Blur’s second upcoming film and will be followed by their concert film of the Wembley gigs called “Blur: Live at Wembley Stadium,” set to arrive in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on September 6. In a five-star review of “Blur: To The End,” NME’s Andrew Trendell wrote, “They bicker, they hug, they call each other c**ts, they get the job done. While Blur’s last doc and accompanying live movie No Distance Left To Run was a portrait of a band celebrating their legacy and giving a nostalgia-hungry world exactly what they craved, this spiritual sequel shows a band simply supporting each other.
