KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 ― English singer-songwriter James Blunt has announced that he will be coming over to Asia next year for his Afterlove Tour, in support of his fifth studio album of the same name.
Most known for his sappy singles, You’re Beautiful and Goodbye My Lover, the 43-year-old singer is set to kick-off his fifth world tour this August in Mexico, which will continue on until next year in Asia.

James rose to prominence in 2004 with the release of his debut studio album Back to Bedlam, which sold over 11 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK.
He has since gone on to sell over 20 million albums and 20 million singles worldwide, receiving several awards, including two Brit Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, and Grammy nominations. — TheHive.Asia
