Fans of the legendary virtual band Gorillaz are devastated after reports surfaced that a massive collection of the group’s unreleased music has been lost forever. According to sources close to the band, a fire broke out at a storage facility in London where Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett had kept years’ worth of demo recordings, unfinished tracks, alternate versions, and rare collaborations. The incident has sent shockwaves through the Gorillaz fanbase, with many mourning the loss of what could have been future classics.
A representative for the band confirmed the tragic event, stating, *“We are heartbroken to confirm that a significant archive of Gorillaz’ unreleased material was destroyed in an unforeseen accident. These recordings spanned decades of creativity and featured collaborations that may never be recreated. Damon and the team are deeply saddened by this loss.”*
While no one was physically harmed in the fire, the emotional toll on the band and its fans has been immense. Over the years, Gorillaz have been known for their vast, experimental catalog, often recording far more music than they officially release. Some of these lost tracks were rumored to include collaborations with artists like Daft Punk, MF DOOM, and late music legends.
Social media has since been flooded with messages from heartbroken fans. One user tweeted, *“I can’t believe we’ll never get to hear those lost Gorillaz songs. This is like losing an entire album before it was even announced.”*
Despite this setback, sources say the band remains determined to move forward. Damon Albarn is reportedly back in the studio working on new material, though the loss of these archives will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Gorillaz’ history.
