Damon Albarn Says Gorillaz Will Never End: "We'll Pass It On to the Next Generation"

"The cartoon is more important than the people, although the people are very important. It would be fun to pass it on to a younger team. It may be interesting to be just there in the background for the next generation to start off."

"Gorillaz imagine a graceful passing of the torch, ideally while the current band is well enough to enjoy it. The band is also set to tour on their new album The Mountain."

Gorillaz co-founders Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett discussed their vision for the band's future, emphasizing that the cartoon characters and concept are more important than the individual people involved. They plan to eventually hand over the project to a younger team, allowing the current members to transition into background roles while remaining connected to the project. Albarn and Hewlett envision a graceful succession that differs from typical band breakups, drawing inspiration from animation history. The band recently made their SNL debut and is touring their new album The Mountain.
