Former soldier James Blunt shot to fame in 2004 with the release of his debut album Back to Bedlam, featuring the song You’re Beautiful which hit number one in 13 countries.

The album sold over 12 million copies and landed him two Brit Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and five Grammy nominations.

Since then there have been another six studio albums, while Blunt has become known for his wicked and self-effacing sense of humour.

But musically, he’s never surpassed that debut and is now on tour marking its 20th anniversary.

Launching the tour James Blunt explained in typical style: “I’ve released seven studio albums, but Back To Bedlam was the one people actually bought. So on its twentieth anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it’s worth. It was one of the biggest selling albums of the Noughties, so here’s hoping it makes a dent in the 20’s.”

And there’s good news for Scottish fans, with a date in Glasgow.
