James Blunt is set to star in a new feature documentary, which has been described as Spinal Tap meets Alan Partridge.

The new project comes from Lorton Entertainment, who previously produced the BBC film Bros: After The Screaming Stops, the Oasis documentary Supersonic and the soon-to-be-released George Ezra film End-To-End.

The upcoming documentary was filmed on the road during Blunt’s 2022 Greatest Hit Tour, and will explore the singer’s backstory, from his time in the British Army to recording the biggest-selling album of the noughties.

The official synopsis reads: "This is the story of an aged British popstar, still fighting for relevance some seventeen years after his star momentarily twinkled." No one has a more extraordinary story than James Blunt. The soldier turned singer has one of the most inspiring trajectories in the history of music.
