Officials in the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Verbier say that James Blunt is moving there, although whether it's for tax reasons or because he's a posho who likes skiing isn't clear. As previously reported, French rocker Johnny Halliday recently moved Switzerland to avoid taxes in his home country.
Anyway, Swiss Daily Le Matin has published a report claiming that Blunt, already a frequent visitor to the area, had registered with the tax office there. Which makes it sound like it might have more to do with the tax breaks than the skiing. Verbier's tourism officials confirmed the news, but refused to comment on whether the singer would be receiving the same tax breaks as Hallyday.
You know I don't like to diss James Blunt, but honestly. What a splitter.
