Graham Coxon battled the effects of food poisoning to play Blur's final scheduled reunion gig at T in the Park on Sunday

Blur nearly missed their "last gig" at T in the Park on Sunday after guitarist Graham Coxon became ill with food poisoning. The recently reunited band were on the verge of pulling out of their headline performance at the eleventh hour, but instead chose to delay the gig while Coxon was treated at hospital. The show did go on, but an hour and a half after they were scheduled to appear at 10.15pm.

Blur announced they were reuniting in December 2008, following a hiatus after Coxon's acrimonious departure in 2002. Their comeback gigs, including a show at Goldsmiths College students' union and a headline slot at Glastonbury festival, have been met with widespread acclaim from both critics and fans.

After performing their debut single She's So High at T in the Park, singer Damon Albarn told the crowd,

"We nearly didn't make it. Graham literally walked out of a hospital to come here. He's all right. This is our last gig."

It is unclear whether Albarn meant the gig was the last of the summer or their last ever. Blur have no further gigs scheduled but have mentioned the possibility of writing new material. Albarn closed Sunday night's performance by telling the crowd: "I want to thank everyone who's supported us, everyone who's given their heart and soul."
