However, ex-Blur frontman himself said it was not true. "Nobody was talking about split-up. In fact, nothing is decided yet, but I am pretty sure it is not the end for them. We may stop touring, but not working. Once again, I am sure I have not said anything about leaving Gorillaz", claimed he.

Gorillaz are currently on a world tour in support of their last album Plastic Beach. It is set to end in January, and, according to Damon Albarn, it is the time when he will make a decision about future performances.

"It's been an unqualified success - bizarrely. We always think that when we get to a point where we've achieved something that it's time to stop. This would be a wonderful point to leave Gorillaz, at the end of this tour, I think", said he.

Gorillaz performed a concert in Damascus on July 25, becoming first ever British group to play in Syria. The gig featured several guest artists who took part in the recording of Plastic Beach – former The Clash members Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, Bobby Womack, American hip hop group De La Soul and others.
