Damon Albarn Confronts Graham Norton On Air Over Long Absence From Show

The moment unfolded during a promotional push for a Gorillaz tour that includes a June date at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Overview

  • Appearing on the BBC talk show, Albarn told Norton, “You haven’t invited me back,” drawing the response, “Well, you’re here now.”
  • Albarn recounted asking the same question in a past nightclub encounter; Norton said he had no recollection and joked he must have been drunk, prompting Albarn’s “one of those nightclubs” quip.
  • Audience laughter followed the brief exchange, which has since circulated as the standout clip from the episode.
  • Albarn was promoting Gorillaz’s upcoming UK shows, including a London stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June.
  • Sharing the sofa were Adrian Lester, Leo Woodall, Stephen Graham and Kaley Cuoco, and Albarn jokingly referred to the stadium as “a large music venue in north London.”
