Blur have always had musical differences

Blur will never split up because of musical differences - because they have always had them.

The group - who recently reconciled after going on hiatus in 2003 shortly after Graham Coxon's departure - have completely different music tastes and struggle to find a song which all four members like, but say that keeps them interesting.

Bassist Alex James said: "I don't think there's one record that we all like. There's always someone who hates it."

"Musical differences - read 'split up due to they hate each other' - that's musical differences."

"That's what makes it interesting, you know, if you all like the same music then you're not a band, you're a singer-songwriter."
