New Blur song at pre-Brit Awards concert James - now a farmer and cheese producer - said: "There is always a feeling that this may be Blur's last bow, which I suppose makes it all the more exciting.We've been asked to perform five songs. I met up with the band last week and we discussed what we will play. Also on the bill for the Brits is former Oasis star Noel Gallagher, with whom Albarn famously fell out more than a decade and a half ago. Sheeran has warmed up for this week's awards by headlining War Child's annual concert along with guests Example, Labrinth and Wretch 32. Sheeran, who just turned 21, was nominated in four categories - best album for "+," single ("The A Team"), breakthrough act and male solo artist. He is up against Adele, the world's biggest selling singer last year and fresh from a record-equalling six Grammy awards earlier this month, in the album and song categories. Bookmaker Ladbroke's makes the 23-year-old Londoner favourite to win the female category and the big prize on the night, best album, for "21," which has sold more than six million copies in the United States alone.Other Brit nominees include Jessie J, who is up for three awards, and veteran Kate Bush, shortlisted for best female, sealing a remarkable comeback. Florence & the Machine and Coldplay are each nominated twice, as are Emeli Sande, this year's Critics' Choice winner, and Americans Bon Iver and Aloe Blacc.
