James Blunt vows war on Twitter trolls and admits best pal Ed Sheeran quitting social media was ‘madness’

WHEN one of James Blunt’s trolls wrote on Twitter, “I’ve never fully understood why he needed to strip off in his music video”, the You’re Beautiful singer replied, “You would if yours was this big.”

James concedes Little Mix star Jesy Nelson’s recent admission that constant abuse on Twitter drove her to a suicide attempt shows there are “actual proper consequences” of the actions of keyboard warriors.“The things that we read online have huge and very real impact on people’s lives and their general happiness,” he says.He was a member of the army who found incredible international success aged 30 off the back of the monster hit You’re Beautiful.

He says: “I have a young family, I have a wife who I leave at home for extended periods of time while I’m away on tour and all of that has an impact of loneliness for me while I’m away on tour and a huge responsibility for those I leave behind. The other trauma in James’ life is the deteriorating health of his father Colonel Charlie Blount, who has been diagnosed with stage four chronic kidney disease. The standout track Monsters is about his illness, with James’ vocals literally cracking with emotion as he sings.

“I don’t have the need to say many things to my mates. If you’re a mate of something you don’t need to bang onto them that they’re your mate or about why they’re you’re mate. They’re your mate.Credit: Getty Images - Getty“It says I’m not your son, you’re not my father we’re just two grown men saying goodbye, no need to forgive. No need to forget. I know your mistakes and you know mine. There’s super honest ways to say I love you.

On a more frivolous note, James becomes yet another star to deny a story in Lily Allen’s controversial autobiography where the singer claimed she caught him having sex with someone near the entrance in her room at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles.
