Dave Rowntree: 'Blur reunion not set'

Former Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has denied speculation that the band are to reunite.

Rowntree told NME that the group had discussed recording new material, but had not put plans in place.

He explained: "We’re in touch. But we've got nothing concrete and nothing formalised about doing anything."

Commenting on rumours that Blur could come together to play one of the summer's big festivals, Rowntree added: "You can’t really play the festivals or try and get a big tour together until you release something."
