They're Britpop icons but Blur frontman Damon Albarn wants to ditch the title in favour of ‘Europop’.... because he hates Brexit.

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has said that the UK's decision to quit the EU has been a "disaster" for young British musicians and "a travesty" for his country.

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has discussed his feelings on Brexit and labelled the consequences of Britain’s 2016 referendum a “disaster”.

Blur's Damon Albarn has told Sky News that there are people in government 'tainted by Brexit', which made the UK 'more remote' and 'diminished the value of arts and creativity'. He was speaking alongside his Blur bandmates - announcing a new album and first tour in 8 years.

Blur frontman says quitting the bloc has been a “disaster” for young musicians.

A new artist-led campaign has been launched to encourage the UK Government to work to reduce the costs and red tape facing musicians touring Europe.

‘The government has to take this issue seriously and support touring artists. The future of British music is at stake’
