Blur's Alex James almost went bankrupt when work dried up during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The bassist - who runs the Big Feastival festival at his farm in the Cotswolds - has revealed he suffered spiralling money problems throughout the pandemic as he couldn't put on his music event or perform with his band but he was saved by royalty money from his football anthem 'Vindaloo', which was released under the name Fat Les and co-written by Alex, Keith Allen and Guy Pratt.
