Damon Albarn has announced that he will release his debut solo album in April.
Although he has had numerous albums with Blur and other collaborators, this will be the first time he releases material under his own name.
In addition to his work with Blur, Albarn has had a number of other projects, including his The Good, The Bad And The Queen album (which he performed at Latitude in 2007), his Mali Music collaboration and Gorillaz.
Blur bandmate Alex James revealed last week that he had applied to trademark a drink called Britpop.
The musician, who also produces his own cheeses, has applied to the intellectual property office (IPO) for the trademark.
