FOLLOWING the success of the number one album All Lost Souls, James Blunt will play nine shows this autumn, including the Metro Radio Arena on Monday October 13.

His current album has so far sold over 600,00 copies in the UK and 3m worldwide and features the hit single 1973 and the evocative second single Same Mistake.

On March 24, Blunt releases Carry You Home, the third single taken from All Lost Souls. Written by the James and Max Martin, it features a striking video by Grammy award-winning director Jake Nava, whose critically acclaimed credits include Rolling Stones and Dido. The video was filmed in Dorset and is shot in black and white, perfectly complimenting the songs themes and mood.

The multi-platinum singer-songwriter and his band recently toured the UK throughout January. They are currently performing in the US as part of a worldwide tour that will see Blunt play across Europe, South East Asia, Australia and South Africa.

Tickets at £32.50 go on sale tomorrow at 9am.
