Notably, the band, who last toured in 2018 were part of the infamous Blur Parklife tour in 1994, which saw them party with Damon Albarn and almost get chucked off the tour for stealing his band's backstage snacks. Their frontwoman, now 58, went onto marry the drummer in her band and has forged a new career as a successful novelist in recent years.
