Damon Albarn's father Keith dies aged 85: Art and design expert passes away after being diagnosed with cancer
Damon Albarn's father Keith Albarn has died aged 85.
The father of Blur frontman Damon, 56 , was a long-standing expert in the field of art and design, having written books and articles as well as appearing on TV and radio (pictured with Ian Knight in September 1965) Although he eventually came to describe himself as an environmental artist, he initially trained as an architect, believing that the career path was the best outlet for his creative ideas. Keith also inadvertently expedited the childhood friendship between his son Damon and Graham Coxon, 55, which eventually led them to form the rock band Blur in 1989.
