James Blunt admits being responsible for his dad losing his FINGERS

by · Mail Online

James Blunt has revealed that he was responsible for his dad losing two of his fingers in a gruesome lawnmower accident.

The singer, 50, made the shocking confession during the latest episode of Sunday Brunch, in which he was discussing his recent vow to legally change his name if the re-release of his Back To Bedlam album reaches number one. 

He is re-releasing his 2004 debut studio album and previously promised to change him name to 'whatever the public wanted' if the music reaches the top on Friday October 18. 

But amid his chat about music and his huge promise, the You're Beautiful hitmaker took the opportunity to recount a horrific tale of the moment his father Charles had his fingers ripped off by a lawnmower, which he told was his 'fault'. 

He shared: 'Speaking of cutting fingers off, my dad cut his own fingers off with a lawnmower. In the lawnmower, well remarkably stupid isn’t it.

Going on to explain how he was to blame, James continued: 'The wheel had come off and it was my fault as I’d hit a tree three weeks before and the wheel had fallen off, and I’d turned the engine off and put the wheel back on.

'And then when my dad was mowing the lawn, the wheel came off, he didn’t have very far to go so he just thought he’d pick it up. And he came back up with no fingers.'

He added: 'So he was taken off to hospital and he tried to drive himself to hospital, a neighbour wouldn’t let him do that.' 

The story then took an even more gruesome turn as James then recalled how he was tasked with finding his dad's lost digits.

He said: 'Then I was told to see if I could find the fingers to see if we could put them back on and I couldn’t because it was like an apple – have you seen an apple go through a lawnmower? But we did find a nail.'

James' story left his fellow guests horrified, with things moving swiftly on to the chart-topper's bizarre promise to switch up his moniker.

The star has vowed to legally change his name to 'Blunty McBluntface' if his new album makes it to number one in the charts. 

The reveal over what the public had chosen after a vote was made in a sketch video posted on his social media on Sunday.

The singer, 50, released Back To Bedlam two decades ago and the record featured huge hits such as You're Beautiful, High, Wisemen, and Goodbye My Lover.

The album went on to reach the top spot on the UK albums chart for weeks and is now certified 10x Platinum.

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Hampshire star is re-releasing the album and going on tour.

The reveal was made in the sketch video showing him trying to enter a Warner Music Group building, only to be stopped by the front desk as they wouldn't accept his name as 'James Blunt'. 

He then tries to get in using a few of the top-contending names like 'Jimmy Spliff,' 'Blames Junt,' 'Divock Origi,' 'James Cucking Funt,' and 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pop Star Four Chord Song Machiney' but they don't work.

Looking deflated his final guess is then 'Blunty McBluntface,' and he is finally granted access. 

He then mutters 'People have no imagination,' to which the front desk receptionist replies, 'The people have spoken.'

In a video posted on his Instagram, the singer previously announced: 'My name is James Blunt and you have the power to absolutely f**k my life.

'I know you've heard the rumours, and they are true, I'm rereleasing my debut album Back To Bedlam on October 11. Something that has kept me consistently rich for the past 20 years.

'So as a way to give back to you, my adoring public, if Back To Bedlam re-enters the charts at number one, I will legally change my name. What will I change it to? Well, it's entirely up to you.

'I've been called many things in my life, 'the most hated man in pop,' 'annoying,' 'James Beige,' I'll let the people decide.'

He then added: 'But if it doesn't go to number one, I'm not changing my name, it's safe to say this is the most important democratic moment of the year.'
