Ananova:

Graham Coxon is reported to be returning to Blur.

The guitarist quit in 2002 during the session for 2003's Think Tank album.

He reportedly met with the band last week for talks reports Yahoo quoting the Daily Mirror.

A source said: "The meeting went well - probably better than any of them expected."

"It's very positive for everyone and Graham will still be able to do his solo work as well as working with the band again."

Coxon released four solo albums while he was still in Blur and one, this year's Happiness In Magazines, after the split.

The split was first rumoured in August 2002. Coxon and Blur frontman Damon Albarn were reported to be rowing, leading to the guitarist walking out of the studio.

Albarn said later: "Graham will always be the guitarist in Blur... I'm sure there'll come a time when we'll make music again together."

A year ago Coxon replied: "If that's true then why was I un-invited to the studio when I was in Blur? I'm not particularly interested in progress in that area at the moment."

Blur's Think Tank, on which Coxon was co-credited on only one track, Battery In Your Leg, received some of the strongest reviews of the band's career.
