Damon Albarn has described being made an Icelandic citizen as a “deep” moment as his mother’s family are originally from Denmark.

The singer-songwriter, composer and musician, 53, rose to fame as part of Blur, who are often credited with helping define the Britpop genre, and was awarded his new citizenship last year.
