James Blunt Goes To War With His Mentor Over Royalties

The Independent reports that royalties on six songs from James Blunt’s debut album ‘Back to Bedlam’ have been frozen in a battle about who wrote what, as his early mentor Lukas Burton claimed he had been “betrayed” by the singer. A spokeswoman for Blunt hit back at the claim, saying: “Traditionally, when a record is this massive, everyone wants to claim credit for its success. This is no different.”
