  Graham Coxon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham Coxon (born Graham Leslie Coxon on 12 March 1969, in Rinteln, West Germany) is best known as the former guitarist in the British band Blur.
Graham Coxon studied Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London, for two years, until he chose to quit due to the increasing success of his band at the time, Seymour, that later changed its name and became Blur.
Coxon's highly individual style is best showcased on songs such as "Beetlebum" and "You're So Great" (both from Blur's 1997 album Blur), the latter being his first solo record while in Blur (it is said that Graham sang it under the studio table with the lights off), and "Coffee and TV" (from Blur's 13).
