Sun: "Damon will release solo album in 2012" / Damon videos / Bobby article with Gorillaz mention

Rumoured Damon 'solo album'
The Sun newspaper carried an article in its 27 August edition saying Damon will record and release a 'solo album' in 2012, quoting an unnamed source as saying ""Damon's finally ready to make a solo album after years of hiding behind cartoon band Gorillaz and working with collectives of musicians. He's looking forward to it and his label bosses at EMI are pleased as it's sure to sell by the bucketload." The Sun is a bit hit-and-miss with showbiz news / rumours, but they have got some things right in the past, such as being the first to announce the reunion of Damon's band Blur.

Video of Damon working with a Congolese musician as part of DRC Music
A short video of Damon working with a Congolese musician called 'Jupiter' was posted on the official DRC Music Youtube a few days ago. Check it out here.

You can check it out in these vids:- 1 | 2 | 3

Dang Bobby. I feel ashamed I wasn't aware of the past you've been through. So very excited for the inspiration Gorillaz gave you. Cannot wait to see what you create from all this. So hyped for Damon's album as well! :D

I don't believe a single word the Sun says. But the rest of the stuff is pretty cool.

Damon spoke - albeit very briefly - about a solo album in this month's Q magazine.
