James Blunt is skint

James Blunt tells The Sun he is skint despite strong sales, owning only a motorcycle, and tells The Mirror he is single and would not rule out dating a fan.

Ah well. You can't have everything. Despite the fact that 'Back To Bedlam' has sold about 1.5million copies, and despite the fact that 'Beautiful' is the best selling single of the year (even though 'Wisemen' is better), James Blunt is still skint. Don't worry too much about him, though, because someone's picking up his hotel tabs.

Blunt apparently told The Sun: "I haven't been paid so actually I'm skint. I don't own a car or an apartment. But I do own a motorcycle for getting around London. Money doesn't mean that much to me anyway. I've been used to having no cash for years. And it would be crazy to have an apartment because I'm staying in hotels every day anyway."

And then there's more bad news (or good news, if you're an adoring fan). He's single with an aching heart. He apparently told The Mirror's 3am girls "The music business makes it pretty difficult to hold down relationships because I travel so much. So I'm no longer with my girlfriend. I'm young, free and single. But I'm always looking for love because I guess nobody wants to die alone. You just have to meet people and see what they're like in their mind. I would never rule out dating a fan."
