This is why, via his social networks, the singer promises a fun reward to his fans if they allow his reissue to reach first place in the sales ranking of the week in the United Kingdom. “I will legally change my name. What name would I take instead? Well, you choose,” he said in a video posted on October 10. “My name is James Blunt and I give you the power to completely destroy my life.”
Lost Frequencies: “Music is really my whole life and I told myself it was time to take charge of my private life”
A name already chosen
Fans and Internet users then had fun with the situation by proposing the most difficult names to bear and the most problematic puns with his last name “Blunt” (a word designating a “marijuana joint”). The singer promised to choose the proposal that garners the most likes online and we have a winner.
If the reissue of “Back to Bedlam” tops the sales charts by Friday, October 18, James Blunt will change his name to… Blunty McBluntface. A choice that he announced in a second video in the form of a humorous sketch. As usual, the Briton is not afraid to show humor and make a little fool of himself to amuse the gallery. But will he go so far as to legally change his name for real? Answer next Friday.
