(BBC) Former Blur members Graham Coxon and Alex James both turned up for the first night of Damon Albarn's opera Monkey: Journey To The West on Wednesday night.

"I loved it, loved it," said Coxon. "I was riveted, lovely music, how the set looked and the dancing of course. He's very clever, I was always rather in awe of Damon's talents from a young age, really it's his staunchness about music and his energy."

Albarn admitted to Newsbeat last week that he had patched relations up with Coxon, who left the band in 2002, and had even been "hanging out" with him. - more including a video of the monkey business
