James Blunt inspires in Vienna: The comeback of the legends in celebration!

James Blunt celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut album “Back To Bedlam” on Tuesday evening in the Wiener Stadthalle with around 6,000 fans. The British singer-songwriter, known for his soulful ballads, performed a rousing setlist that captivated the audience from the start. A special highlight of the evening was the performance of Chesney Hawkes, a British one-hit wonder who had not been to Austria for 34 years and who further heated up the atmosphere with his classic “The One And Only”. Both artists played in a setting with emotional moments and a lot of humor, with Blunt particularly impressing with his self-irony Krone.at reported.

A successful comeback

Blunt, who has been a frequent guest in Austria in recent years, reminded his audience how he brought a breath of fresh air to the British music scene 21 years ago. From “High” to “You’re Beautiful” to the deeply moving “Monsters” – the selection of his songs gave you goosebumps. "The good news for everyone who had to come here because of their parents or partners: We've already played four of the ten songs on the album - so you'll soon be over it," joked Blunt, proving that his humor is not neglected on stage either. The ballad “Loud” in particular, dedicated to his late friend Vic, left a lasting impression, while the interspersed jokes lightened the melancholic picture.

Blunt's performance was not only a return to his roots, but also a demonstration of his artistic change, even incorporating a remix of an EDM classic into his set. His warm, authentic voice and his emotionality catapulted the anniversary celebration to a success. A new studio album, “Living Arrows,” will be released on April 4th, which is already giving many fans new anticipation News.com.au reported.
