Is this the end for Gorillaz?

By | Published on Tuesday 7 December 2010

Damon Albarn has said that he’s considering bringing Gorillaz to an end, as he’s not sure where he can take the project following the success and scale of the ‘Plastic Beach’ album and tour.

Albarn told WENN: “It’s been an unqualified success – bizarrely. But we always think that when we get to a point where we’ve achieved something that it’s time to stop, don’t we? We’ll see how we feel in January [after the final leg of the band’s world tour]. A period of reflection and sobriety [is required], I couldn’t keep going at this size and pace”.

Gorillaz’s other half, Jamie Hewlett concurred, adding: “This would be a wonderful point to leave Gorillaz; at the end of this tour, I think… This tour, with these people, is a one-off. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. We’ll never repeat this”.
