Graham Coxon (born Graham Leslie Coxon on 12 March 1969, in Rinteln, West Germany) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and painter. He is best known as the guitarist in the rock band Blur. His artistic and musical contribution is prominently featured on the band's first six albums, from 1991's Leisure to 1999's 13. The latter's cover was also designed by Coxon.
In 2002, he left Blur, following a bitter dispute with the other members. He only featured in the last of the tracks for the following year's Think Tank. In September 2007, Graham Coxon reunited with the band, but Blur stated that they have no plans for recording in the immediate future.
He is also a critically acclaimed solo artist with six solo albums, half of them recorded while still a member of the band. Coxon is capable of playing several other instruments, besides guitar, and is famous for recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians. He is currently recording his seventh studio album, expected to be released sometime in 2008. It will be a concept album, according Graham words, "about a man who is born in, um, possibly the '50s. Grows up, meets a girl, gets married, then has to go to war and gets really knackered up and then has a divorce and then goes mad and then...er...dies and goes to heaven."
