James Blunt Launches High Court Writ

Over a royalties dispute...

Share

James Blunt has issued a High Court writ in the hope of earning royalties from his mega-hit debut album again.

His earnings from ‘Back To Bedlam’ were suspended after producer Lukas Burton claimed he worked on six tracks on the album, but had received no credit.

Burton says he changed the songs were “crude, occasionally laughably direct and betrayed his relative lack of musicianship” before he got his hands on them – which, having heard the finished product, makes the mind boggle.

However, now the Bluntster has broken off from romancing a series of Los Angeles ladies to issue a writ in Britain’s High Court to get his royalties reinstated.

Maybe he’s running out of spare change?

  • I thought High Court Writ might be rhyming slang?
