SINGER SONGWRITER and king of Twitter, James Blunt, is set to bring his new tour to Bournemouth later this month.

The Your Beautiful singer released his fifth studio album, The Afterlove earlier this year through Atlantic Records.

The new album is the follow-up to Moon Landing, which reached platinum status in the UK and spent 33 weeks in the UK top 40 after it was released in 2013.

James worked with a wide range of talent when writing and recording The Afterlove including Ed Sheeran, Ryan Tedder, Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran, Shannon Saunders), Johnny McDaid (Example, Biffy Clyro), Stephan Moccio (Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd) and MoZella (Miley Cyrus, One Direction).

Now James Blunt will also be embarking on a UK headline tour, The Afterlove Tour, which includes a date at Bournemouth’s International Centre.

This is the first tour for James following his extensive Moon Landing Tour, which saw him perform over 140 shows across the world over the course of twelve months.

James Blunt will be at the BIC on Saturday, November 25 at the BIC’s Windsor hall.

The singer songwriter has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and 12.8 million singles.

He’s also amassed over 625 million views on YouTube and over 680 millions global streams on streaming platforms.
