The Britpop era of music is now 30 years old - but Blur were really close to being axed before it began and they had their rivalry with Oasis - and huge success.
The band released album Modern Life Is Rubbish in 1993 which bombed on release and in a new Britpop documentary admit they were on their “last chance” with record company bosses.
Drummer Dave Rowntree said: “Dave Balfe, the record label head, he sent us a warning letter. We were on our last chance.”
