October 13th 2024.
On the next episode of Sunday Brunch, we were in for a treat as the talented James Blunt joined us. The 50-year-old singer was there to promote the rerelease of his debut album, Back To Bedlam, which was first released back in 2004. The album includes some of his popular hits such as You're Beautiful, High, Wisemen, and Goodbye My Lover. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the album, and to celebrate, James is not only re-releasing it but also embarking on a tour. And in a bold move, he even promised to change his name to whatever the public wants. Now that's some serious commitment!
As we delved into the topic of his new album and his name-changing promise, James shared a shocking and gruesome story about his father. He revealed that his dad had lost his fingers in a lawnmower accident. "Speaking of cutting fingers off, my dad cut his own fingers off with a lawnmower. In the lawnmower, well remarkably stupid isn't it," James recounted. The incident was partially his fault as he had accidentally hit a tree three weeks prior, causing the wheel of the lawnmower to fall off. James had fixed it, but unfortunately, the wheel came off again while his dad was mowing the lawn. He tried to pick it up, but ended up losing his fingers in the process.
To add to the horror, James also mentioned that he was tasked with finding his dad's fingers. "So he was taken off to the hospital, and he tried to drive himself there, but a neighbor stopped him," James shared. "Then I was told to see if I could find the fingers to see if we could put them back on, and I couldn't because it was like an apple – have you seen an apple go through a lawnmower? But we did find a nail," he added. The other guests on the show were visibly shocked and quickly moved on to the next segment, not wanting to dwell on this gruesome anecdote.
But the conversation soon turned towards James' name-changing promise. Earlier this week, he had revealed that the public had voted for his new name to be "Blunty McBluntyface," a hilarious nod to the viral "Boaty McBoatface" incident in 2016. However, James has a strict criteria for this name change. "But if it doesn't go to number one, I'm not changing my name. It's safe to say this is the most important democratic moment of the year," he clarified. So it remains to be seen if James Blunt will indeed become Blunty McBluntyface.
In any case, Back To Bedlam's 20th-anniversary edition was released on October 11, 2024, giving us more reason to celebrate.
