His 2004 track, You're Beautiful, became an anthem for distraught, heartbroken lovers all over the world. But British singer James Blunt says he won't be "a guy with a guitar singing sad songs" when he plays in Bengaluru in April, as part of the Asia leg of The Afterlove Tour, promoting his fifth studio album. When we tell him his pal and fellow Brit artiste Ed Sheeran already did that, he laughs over the phone from London before stating, "[In my set] there is going to be a full band. There will be lots of energy and upbeat songs - one needs to be ready for an emotional ride."
