Gorillaz was formed in 1998 by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett created Gorillaz in 1998 when they were living together in a flat on Westbourne Grove.[10] The idea to create the band came about when the two were watching MTV, "if you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell - there's nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that," Hewlett said. They did it so they could make music however they wanted to and they wouldnt have to be in the spotlight all the time like Damon was during Blur.

Damon Albarn does not worship the devil. That's just the character Murdoc from the animated band.
Although there are four characters in the band, there are not necessarily four people. The concept of Gorillaz is that there are no specific band members in each album or in each song so the band can be flexible in making completely different kinds of music. The only continuous member of the band is also the creator, Damon Albarn. He co-created Gorillaz with an animator named Jamie Hewlett who does all the illustrations. Since Albarn is the only consistent member of the band, they get collaborators to join in and help out with albums. So if you see them on tour, as I have, you will see animations in the background but the performers in the front. On their most recent tour with the album Plastic Beach, the performers included: Damon Albarn, Bootie Brown, Paul Simonon and Mick Jones (from the band The Clash), Little Dragon, Mos Def, Lou Reed, and a bunch of other artists. There are about 20-30 people on stage. These featured artists were not on their previous album Demon Days, maybe only one or two were. On Demon Days, there was also Ike Turner and others.

Damon Albarn is most noted as the lead singer and songwriter for the band Blur. He also created the group Gorillaz. Damon has also done some acting work. he appeared in the 1997 film "Face".
Well Gorillaz is a band where the people that play the music are different for different songs. This means that there isn't people in a band as such. However, they have an animated band (the one you see in the music video) which consists of the characters Murdoch, Noodle, 2D and Russell.
