James Blunt China concerts in the works

British singer-songwriter-heartthrob James Blunt will bring his most well-known song "You're Beautiful" together with his brand-new album to Chinese audiences next month, for a series of performances in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

It will be the second China visit of the "Captain poet," as he's been dubbed by fans, after his small-scale and fully-packed concert at Beijing's Star Live performance venue three years ago, which had to turn away many devoted fans due to limited seats.

In addition to his classic hits, Blunt will perform many of the songs from Some Kind of Trouble, his third studio album released last year.[China .org.]

Blunt shot to fame in 2005 with his single "You're Beautiful," which topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, and his debut album Back To Bedlam.

Since then he has sold over 15 million albums worldwide, won two BRIT Awards and been nominated for five Grammy Awards.
