10:51AM Jess McGuire | Look, we’ve nothing personal against James Blunt, really we don’t. As a person, he seems to be quite a lovely chap. We’ve read loads of interviews with the man where he seems charming and quick-witted and he certainly doesn’t take himself seriously, and the fact he is worth gazillions and lives in a mansion on a party island in Spain with his own discotheque is the perfect riposte for those breathlessly banging on about how boring and rubbish his music is.
That said, his music
is boring and rubbish, and we honestly can’t fathom why a sane person would voluntarily purchase a record which sounds like a cat is being fisted while someone plays acoustic guitar in the background. Whatever. Different strokes, different folks.
But we couldn’t help but sigh
when we learned of a recent injury James suffered whilst indulging in the thoroughly EXCITING and NOT-BORING act of stage diving!
James Blunt, who will tour New Zealand later this month, has broken his little finger while stage diving.
He said: “I don’t know what made me do it. I jumped off stage at the end and was chased by women, and men, in the crowd. I started running, and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger.
“I don’t even know how I did it. I can’t play the piano but I can still play the guitar with my remaining fingers!”
THANK GOD, NO ONE WILL EVER STOP THE MUSIC.
Funnily enough, Goodbye My Lover makes us want to jump off something too.
