James Blunt will recall his hilarious experience with singing anti-vaxxers and overzealous fans and reveal why his manager calls him a “psychopath” in a VERY tongue-in-cheek documentary

No one has a more extraordinary story than English pop star James Blunt.

Filmed in 2022 on the road on what James calls his “Greatest Hit Tour,” director Chris Atkins captures the star as he travels through Europe.

A mixture of Spinal Tap and Alan Partridge, the film shows “You’re Beautiful” shouting anti-vaccination activists in New Zealand, an encounter with an overzealous fan and many unpleasant interviews.

In the sneak peak clips released, James’ bizarre humor and dry wit come to the fore as he ventures out.
