"I just want to take some time out for myself," James told Mail Online at a nightclub event in West London. "I haven't got any plans to do more songwriting. I have been chilling out since I finished my world tour and I've spent a lot of time in Ibiza, where I have a villa."
After the news was published by Mail Online, Blunt took to his Twitter and Facebook accounts to post this cryptic message; "The Mail on Sunday has reported that James Blunt has split up due to musical differences. Neither could be reached for comment due to recording commitments. - at Conway Recording Studios."
Blunt started his music career in 2002 upon leaving the British Army after six years of service. Since the release of his 2004 debut, Back to Bedlam, the "You're Beautiful" singer put out All the Lost Souls in 2007 and Some Kind of Trouble in 2010.
