Liam Fray backs Blur reunion

The Courteeners star Liam Fray has backed Blur's plans to reunite for a comeback tour.

The singer claimed that the band were right to insist that their decision was not influenced by financial rewards.

"Everyone's reforming these days so it was only a matter of time but I think it's a good thing," Fray told the Daily Star.

"It's not like they're doing it for any other reason than for the love of it. They don't need to."

He also joked: "We might go down to the Blur Hyde Park gigs next year in our old Oasis T-shirts. In the mid-nineties you couldn't even mention Blur's name out loud in Manchester. My sister used to like them but I never listened to them because I was Oasis through and through."
