James Blunt announced that if his album 'Back to Bedlam' reclaims the top spot on the UK charts, he will change his name to whatever fans choose. Blunt affirmatively declared on Radio X, saying, 'I have signed up to changing my name to whatever the public want - they can change my name.' This bold engagement tactic not only promotes the album's re-release but also reinforces his connection with fans after two decades in the industry.
He humorously added, 'I swear on Brian's life and my life. To whatever the public want - and of course the public are going to be kind, they're not going to go for anything that rhymes with Blunt are they?' Blunt's comments reveal his light-hearted approach to fan interactions and his willingness to embrace the whims of his audience, showcasing a humorous bond built over years.
Blunt acknowledged the historical impact of 'Back to Bedlam,' noting, 'I've released seven studio albums, but Back To Bedlam was the one people actually bought.' His candid reflection underscores the significance of this album and the sustained relevance it holds even two decades post-release, indicating a deep appreciation for the success and fan support he’s received.
In addition to the album re-release on October 11th, Blunt is also preparing for a UK/EU tour set to begin in February 2025. This tour is another facet of celebrating the cultural milestone of 'Back to Bedlam' and a chance for fans to experience Blunt's music live once again.
