Awesome news for fans of Gorillaz - as progress on the new album from the 'Clint Eastwood' and 'Dare' stars is well underway. Could we expect a 2016 release and perhaps a tour?

Damon Albarn promised a new album from the animated band - having started work on their fifth album back in September

Now, everything looks pretty damn promising. Not only has Gorillaz artists Jamie Hewlett shared a great of new artwork of the band on his Instagram account, but he's also revealed video footage of Albarn hard at work in the studio - with one showing the Blur frontman working alongside legendary French composer Jean Michel-Jarre, producer Twilite Tone, and singer-songwriter Liam Bailey.

As Consequence Of Sound reports, a now-deleted post revealed that the band had also been visited in the studio by Massive Attack - could they also be one of the record's special guests? 

Gorillaz are also rumoured to be planning a world tour at the end of 2017, tickets will surely sell out fast so stay tuned for an official announcement to make sure you buy your Gorillaz tickets first.
