About this listen

This book is inspired by true events but is not a biography.

The truth is My Truth is not The Truth, and that's as honest as I can be. It's partially true, rather than painfully true, and I have possibly been economical with the truth, Your Honour.

Basically, I made this sh*t up...

While James Blunt's crimes against music are well-documented, he also has some stories that are not. In Loosely Based On A Made-Up Story, James reveals his most riotous anecdotes to date for your amusement - and his parents' horror - in this highly anticipated non-memoir.

From his questionable Norfolk roots, eccentric family, boarding school antics, misjudged military service, rise to music stardom and tour escapades, James delves into his (surprisingly) fascinating life to date. What do you do when your mother writes irate emails to the future prime minister defending your honour? What does it take to run a male escort agency? And why exactly should you refrain from crowd-surfing? Find out here, folks...

Were the stories in this book grossly exaggerated in an attempt to impress? Maybe. But one thing is for certain: you won't want to miss it.

Excellently written and narrated, great humour and fun stories about his life, even if the story has been changed to protect the not-so innocent, who knows but quite unbelievably true. Well recommended.

Made me laugh a lot and I listened to the book in one day. I am also thankful that he didn’t gloss over what he saw in Kosovo.

Funny and serious

I thought this would be good, but was surprised at how continuously funny and engaging it was. James certainly has lived a full and fun life! I’m very glad he read it as well. He manages effortlessly to interject the perfect amount of sarcasm, scorn, self-criticism, and self-effusion to really make the book a joy to listen to. Strongly recommended!

Heartfelt and laugh out loud hilarious
