Meanwhile, James Blunt recently recalled the time that Damon Albarn didn’t want to be photographed with him for an episode of Later… With Jools Holland.
The topic arose during a discussion with actor Kathy Burke on an episode of her podcast series Where There’s A Will, There’s A Wake.
“He’s a lovely chap, I’m sure, but he didn’t want me [to be in] the photo of the episode,” Blunt said of the incident.
“Everyone gets the photo and that photo is put up on the wall of the studio, of Jules Holland’s studio,” Blunt added. “For some reason, he didn’t want me in the photo, so I was kept in my dressing room while they took that photo. And then he left and then they got me out for a second photo, but my photo’s not necessarily on the wall.”
Elsewhere, Skindred recently made their debut appearance on the show alongside The Last Dinner Party.
