Blur Perform At T In The Park Despite Illness

Blur overcame illness at the last minute yesterday to headline T in the Park closing night and perform what Damon described as their "last gig".

Fellow headliners Snow Patrol delayed the start of their set by an hour, with Gary Lightbody and co. taking to the stage at 8pm to make some time for Blur guitarist Graham Coxon who had been taken to hospital after being struck down ill, with what doctors suspect was food poisoning.

In a last minute dash the band finally took to the main stage at 10:15, around half an hour late launching into Shes So High, Damon explaining to the crowd after "We nearly did not make it, Graham literally walked out of a hospital to come here. He is alright. This is our last gig."
