7 things we learned from our James Blunt Twitter Q&A

We’ve had some top-notch talent visit us in the Deezer Twitter Room over the last few months. Ed Sheeran and Little Mix have rolled through and this week it was the turn of musical marvel and king of self-deprecating Twitter banter James Blunt to slip into the chair to answer your questions.

Miss it? Never fear friends, we’ve got you! Here are the key moments you need to know from our #JamesBluntDeezer extravaganza.

1. U2 are his songwriting heroes

Which begs the question, “What is Ed Sheeran like to work with?”

5. His most embarrassing moment is hilarious but a bit of a head-scratcher

We’ve all had nightmare moments where we’ve been caught with no clothes on,  but too many?!

6. He’s managed to make it to the age of 43 without nailing some basic domestic skills

Don’t worry James. We can give you lessons.

7. Making the video for You’re Beautiful almost killed him (maybe)
