Damon Albarn Told a Fan That The New Gorillaz Album is Finished

Twitter user @_JackWinstanley met the band's co-creator and reckons they're about ready to release album number five.

"Hallelujah Money," the iconic British band's first single in seven years, was released earlier this month. A decidedly down-tempo effort for them, the track, which features artist and poet Benjamin Clementine, is said to be a comment on the world's current political state. Which explains the melancholy.

Although there have already been rumours of the band's return to the festival circuit, it wasn't until Twitter user @_JackWinstanley met Albarn and tweeted a photo to immortalise it, before saying the two had talked about upcoming Gorillaz shows and the impending album.
