After watching Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) perform a 2014 concert on Guitar Center Sessions I noticed a star taped to the front of his piano…
It obviously is not a “Star of David” as it has more then 6 points. After looking up some more recent photos of Albarn I started noticing the star on more than just the piano. Here’s Albarn standing in front of the symbol on stage…
Damon also wears a necklace with the star symbol as well…
After doing some research on the star it dates back to this man, John Dee (13 July 1527 – 1608 or 1609) who was a mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occultist, imperialist and adviser to Queen Elizabeth I.
Albarn apparently became a bit obsessed with Dr. Dee after he took part in the creation of Dr Dee: An English Opera that explores Dee’s life and work. It premiered at the Palace Theatre in Manchester on July 1, 2011 and opened at the London Coliseum as part of the London 2012 Festival for the Cultural Olympiad in June 2012. Albarn also wrote and composed the complete soundtrack.
Here is question asked by a fan from an official verified reddit interview with Albarn in regards to the star…
The star is known as the Sigillum Dei (seal of God, or signum dei vivi, symbol of the living God, as called by John Dee the Sigillum Dei Aemaeth) was a late Middle Ages magical diagram, composed of two circles, a pentagram, and three heptagons, and is labeled with the name of God and his angels.
Rock stars get into some weird stuff.
