Recently there has been a great clash between founding members, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett which raised the issue of band end :Jamie became frustrated at how much time Damon was giving to his many other projects. Damon, meanwhile, was less than impressed with Jamie’s party lifestyle. With relations so bad they have decided to go their separate ways".
The article continued : "There's been a massive argument that has basically ended things. Jamie's gone abroad to be with his girlfriend, while Damon is busy with his opera and with the return of Blur. For now, it looks like it could be the end of Gorillaz".
However, last night a spokesperson released a statement to Pitchfork shunning rumours of the split : "Despite rumours to the contrary, Gorillaz are alive and well and misbehaving in London W10".

Ryder reveals that in order to promote his solo career he has no regret over his decision.
He tells Q magazine, "It's f**king common sense. Doing a tour with all your showbiz mates is all well and good. But that don't (sic) get your album in Tesco or Asda. That don't (sic) get you (interviews). The record company wanted me in there (the jungle) and I didn't want to go, but it turns out I really enjoyed it."
Gorillaz film will never happened expressed by Jamie Hewlett.A film will be made based around the Gorillaz characters rumors was dismissed by the artist.
''Of course, when Gorillaz is around and in the public eye we get a lot of people phoning up and wanting to talk about making film,'' Hewlett told MTV.
He added:"Often it’s a waste of time and a waste of your efforts because you spend months talking to people who don’t really understand what you’re about and they’ve only phoned you up because they’ve heard what you do is pretty cool."
"They don’t really get it and they’re just wasting your time so I tend to not bother. I think the videos are supposed to be our version of a film whereby the videos all led on from one another and every link on the website was part of the storyline."
