James Blunt told to be 'less sarcastic' on Twitter

It’s safe to say that singer James Blunt is just as known for his incredible Twitter page as he is for his music.

The ‘You’re Beautiful’ hitmaker has a bit of a reputation for putting down his haters in the best possible way with his self-deprecating and sarcastic humour.

Whilst the tweets have seen his popularity soar online, with the star amassing 1.36million followers on the micro-blogging site, James has now admitted that his record label aren’t too happy with him and told him to be a little less sarcastic.

Speaking to Music Week, James explained: “They asked me to stop, they said it was bad for my brand. I said to my manager, ‘This brand is broken already and maybe I can just be myself now’.”

And we have to admit, it appears to have worked wonders for him.

James also confessed that since buying a Tuk-Tuk in Thailand, which he shipped to his home in Ibiza, he is continuously being mistaken for a taxi driver.

He explained: “I bought a Tuk-Tuk in Thailand. It cost a bit to get it back to Ibiza, but it’s amazing.

“People stop me, thinking I’m a taxi driver, and then when they recognise me say things, like, ‘Oh, my God! You’re that guy who sang that song! What happened to you?'”

Well, at least he has a back-up career if his singing and Twitter put-downs go down the drain!
