Bravo, Blunty McBluntface! (We especially liked the detail at the start when he can’t open the door. It’s the little things …)
And here are just a few of the things people said about it.
I might not enjoy every one of his songs, but a bloody love how much he genuinely makes me laugh. https://t.co/pq7uUEWNa4

If there’s anyone who consistently smashes social media more frequently than James Blunt then, frankly, I don’t want to know about it… https://t.co/6HP6aTms4a

Not everyone was happy though.
Divock Origi was the top comment, you shithouse. I've always thought Goodbye My Lover by yourself was a bit of a rammer, but I wouldn't play it now if it was the last song on earth. How dare you. Divock Okoth Origi has just turned in his grave. Sling your hook, you conman.

Love that last line
