Özet

This book is inspired by true events but is not a biography.

The truth is My Truth is not The Truth, and that's as honest as I can be. It's partially true, rather than painfully true, and I have possibly been economical with the truth, Your Honour.

Basically, I made this sh*t up...

While James Blunt's crimes against music are well-documented, he also has some stories that are not. In Loosely Based On A Made-Up Story, James reveals his most riotous anecdotes to date for your amusement - and his parents' horror - in this highly anticipated non-memoir.

From his questionable Norfolk roots, eccentric family, boarding school antics, misjudged military service, rise to music stardom and tour escapades, James delves into his (surprisingly) fascinating life to date. What do you do when your mother writes irate emails to the future prime minister defending your honour? What does it take to run a male escort agency? And why exactly should you refrain from crowd-surfing? Find out here, folks...

Were the stories in this book grossly exaggerated in an attempt to impress? Maybe. But one thing is for certain: you won't want to miss it.

I loved this hilarious and honest book! as well as being very funny, James Blunt comes across as decent and self-aware. In stark contrast to the snide comments and immature posturing of Gallagher, Alburn and Weller. I know who I’d rather go for a pint with.

Makes his detractors look like dickheads

It was like listening to him tell stories like we were sat in a pub, didn’t hold back and it was a fantastic listen.

The story telling was fantastic

I really knew very little about James before listening to this book and wouldn’t necessarily have been a fan. The anecdotes are hilarious and it’s clear he takes all the showbiz nonsense with a large pinch of salt.
I really recommend this book and found myself walking on the beach in Donegal laughing out loud to it. Did get a few odd looks from other walkers but if you can cope with people giving you a wide berth when you’re listening, then give this book a go.

Laugh Out Loud!!

Its difficult to understand this guy, Obviously seriously upset at the obvious unfairness of how he is perceived as a performer by critics and many of his own peers he hides it behind cynical and ironic humour. But does he come across as “good bloke” which he wants people to believe , i think not . To me he probably has an arrogance that would make it easy for people to dislike and turn on him , and his capability of chucking people close to him under the bus , is not a great quality. I certainly wouldn’t want to go for a beer with someone like that .
Maybe he should release the Isley Bros number Behind the Painted Smile.
But hey James i suspect history will probably be kind to you , how many one hit wonders release 7 albums and sell over 20 million copies , so you are right to give it the middle finger , live your life and be happy , you have done far more than most !!!
