Humanz - A Gorillaz Story

Circle of Friendz

"I mean, it was a crazy ride. I couldn't tell you how scared I was. I can't speak for everyone else, but I know I was scared the whole time."
'What do you remember before waking up in the grave?'
"Not very much. I just remember a being, a creature, if you will. It was almost a gaseous creature, that had many clones, and a leather suit, not unlike a plague doctor's. And it wanted to kill us, as it did."
'Why did you all instinctively start singing a song? And how did you just come up with it on the spot?'
"We all thought we were going to die. And then, we heard the familiar voices. And, suddenly, I heard a slow beat start while we're all scream, so we all stopped. I start singing vocals that popped into my head, and so on, and so forth."
'Had you planned on put it on the new album, or even recording it at all after you finished singing it for the first time?'
"No, we really hadn't. We were just singing it so often we decided just to record it."
'Had you always planned to make the new album?'
"Well, we wanted to make it our 'farewell' album, but we just couldn't. If we stopped making music, I don't know where we'd be. Money wise and life wise."
'Do you have some idea of what you'd be doing? If the band stopped doing music?'
"Well, uh, I suppose I'd try to start a family. Find the right girl, have I child, so on and, so forth."
'Would you rather do that than do music?'
"I.... Uh, I don't.... I don't know."

I hold him in my arms.
"What should we name him?"
"How about 'Stuart Pots II'?"
"I love it."
I look into his eyes.
"Stuart, you're going to do amazing things. Just wait and see."

We arrive at the house. I take him in my arms and walk him in.
"Henry Russel Pots, welcome to the Pots family."
3D runs in.
"Let me see 'em! I wanna see my little brother!"

I lower her down so Henry and 3D can see her.
"What's her name?"

"I like that name!"

"He's named after Uncle Murdoc."
"'Jonathan Murdoc Pots'. It's got a ring to it."
"Isn't he out great uncle?"
"No, he's just old."
Murdoc wheels in on his wheelchair.
"I'm not old, I'm experienced."
"Very experienced."
"Whatever."

"Tragedy at the graduation of the youngest son of Stuart '2D' Pots of the former band 'Gorillaz' and Lauren Renop-Pots: Pots suffered a heart attack at his son, Jonathan Murdoc Pots' high school graduation at the age of 77. He sadly didn't make it, making this the death of three fourths of Gorillaz with Murdoc Niccals dying at age 82, Russel Hobbs dying at age 55, and whereabouts of Noodle are currently unknown."
