James Blunt live review: That's beautiful! Mock if you will, but Pop's Mr Self-Effacing has sold out the Royal Albert Hall (twice), writes ADRIAN THRILLS
James Blunt, 20 years on from debut album Back To Bedlam, has sold out the Royal Albert Hall (twice). The 50-year-old now has a new album 'Who We Used To Be'.
The 50-year-old is a skilful singer-songwriter, and his most recent album, Who We Used To Be, saw him laying bare some brutally honest emotions on a set of typically anguished ballads and mid-tempo pop melodies. He lodged with the late Star Wars actress as he was making Back To Bedlam in LA, and shared an anecdote about writing Goodbye My Lover and You're Beautiful in her bathroom. He's not a global superstar — although this tour will take him to Europe this summer and Australia and South Africa in the autumn — but it was hard not to be impressed by the singalong sense of community that engulfed the famous old hall.
