Alex James: 'Modern Life is Rubbish' was our last chance at success

Alex James is the bass player in one of Britain's biggest bands,
Blur.


With millions of record sales and 2 sold-out nights at Wembley in
2023, he sits down with James O'Brien to discuss his early
childhood, the emergence of Blur, cheese making and his brilliant
new book 'Over the Rainbow'.


With a self-confessed short attention span, Alex failed his
A-Levels and was worrying what was next to for him. All that
changed when he met his soon to be bandmates. From touring
America to going on a health kick after lockdown, in this episode
we find out what Alex's gateway to music was? How he kept the
secret of Blur's comeback from his own kids? And what's in store
for him in the future.


'Over the Rainbow' is out now.
