James Blunt<\/strong> is taking <\/span>Back to Bedlam<\/span><\/em> back to North America for a 20th anniversary tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to Bedlam<\/span><\/em>, featuring James’ signature song “You’re Beautiful,” has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. As of 2022, it was still the bestselling debut album ever by British artist in the U.K. His North American tour will launch in June 2025 in Toronto and wrap up July 3 in Guadalajara, Mexico. For ticket info, visit <\/span>JamesBlunt.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

James says in a statement, in his usual deadpan manner, “<\/span>I\u2019ve been touring now for twenty years, and really, it\u2019s only\u00a0Back To Bedlam<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>that people want to hear\u2026 so\u00a0I\u2019ll play all the songs from\u00a0Back To Bedlam\u00a0<\/em>in full, from start to finish, and chuck in the better known songs from later albums to finish. It\u2019s going to be, well, it pains me to say it\u2026 beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back to Bedlam<\/em> is also being reissued in a special remastered edition on Oct. 11, 20 years to the day of its original release. The package<\/a> includes unreleased demos of the songs on the album, plus unreleased songs from the same era.<\/p>\n

James says, “I\u2019ve released seven studio albums, but\u00a0<\/strong>Back To Bedlam<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>was the one people actually bought. So on its twentieth anniversary, the record label and I thought we should repackage it with some early demos, and milk it for all it\u2019s worth.”<\/p>\n
