GAS! James Blunt Just Announced He’s Releasing A New Album In A Way Only James Blunt Can

James Blunt is the king of Twitter clapbacks.

How about that time a follower tweeted him to say “No one actually likes James Blunt, right?” and he responded with “Yeah, I bought those 20 million albums myself.”

Or when another fan posted this: “James Blunt just has an annoying face and a highly irritating voice” and James clapped back “And no mortgage.” Boom!

Now, the singer has announced he’ll be releasing an album next year, in a way only James Blunt can, using his self deprecating humour of course.

If you thought 2016 was bad – I’m releasing an album in 2017.

Not surprisingly, the internet is already trying to roast the king of twitter put downs.

@JamesBlunt @EmiliaJayee haven’t we suffered enough? Please have some mercy James ?

Our thoughts? Nothing could be worse than the shitsto*rm that was 2016.

Perhaps in 2017 crooning along to a few You’re Beautiful-esque tracks from Mr Blunt will be all the therapy we need.
