The 'Parklife' rockers have been on a hiatus for four years, but James, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree are rumoured to be returning to the studio in November to record the follow-up to 2003's Think Tank.
Albarn has been busy with two musical side-projects - electronic group Gorillaz and rock band The Good, The Bad and the Queen - while James recently wrote a book chronicling his time in Blur.
However, James insisted that the band will never split up, telling the NME: "I think we are kind of stuck together forever one way or another. There will always be Blur somehow or other, I think."
