The Blur Lead Singer Damon Albarn Blows His Gold Teeth While Performing But It Returns Without The Gold, “F*ck Knows What I’ve Got Now”
Damon Albarn “blew out” his gold tooth with his “exuberant” performance only to find it later but without the gold.
The Blur singer Damon Albarn “blew out” his gold tooth with his “exuberant” performance. The band’s frontman was treating fans at the group’s warm-up gig at Eastbourne’s Winter Garden to a rare outing of ‘Coping’, which was taken from their 1993 album ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ and last performed live by the band in 2003, when his energetic vocals led to a dental mishap.
After the song, he told the crowd: “The gold tooth… It’s a transitory thing. During the second chorus, I blew it out with my exuberance. And it fell on the floor, it’s come back to me but it no longer has its gold on it. I mean, f*** knows what I’ve got now.”
The show opened with ‘St. Charles Square’ and during the encore, they played latest single ‘The Narcissist’, while midway through the gig, Damon Albarn encouraged the audience to chant, “Darren, Darren” in honour of the title of their upcoming album, ‘The Ballad of Darren’.
Paying tribute to the 30th anniversary of their second album ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’, the band played a number of rarely-heard tracks from the record, including ‘Advert’, ‘Sunday Sunday’, ‘Chemical World’ and ‘For Tomorrow’.
