Blunt Buys 'Rock Gun' To Deal With Fans

Singer/songwriter James Blunt has bought a gun which fires rocks to scare away fans who congregate outside his new home on the Spanish island Ibiza.
The You'Re Beautiful hitmaker, who has topped charts on both sides of the Atlantic, spent $3 million (£1.7 million) on his holiday retreat last month (Jul06), and is shocked to find fans have already discovered his hideaway's location.
The 32-year-old, who is a former British Army officer, says, "I've not had my place in Ibiza long but since I've been here, I've experienced a lot of people hanging around outside my house - it's totally out of order.

"When I come here I want to get away from it all and I just keep to myself so I'd like some privacy in return. I've gone out and bought a gun that shoots rocks so if I catch anyone hanging around then I'll get them with that.
"Some people just go too far, it's an invasion of privacy."

I hope he gets sued.

Why the hell would anybody want to hang around him, and how the FUCK did he make enough money off that one crap song to blow 3 mil on some McMansion?

I hope he MC Hammers and winds up in the poorhouse.

He should appreciate his fans while he has them...

I'm figuring One Hit Wonder and he'll be left playing with his rocks and his gun all by his lonesome.....

[Grimmlok]

Maybe he'll pull a Kurt Cobain, but only replace the rocks in his head with fresh ones.

[glamazon]

I mean, they release more singles off his album, and I'm thinking he's not so one hit wonder-ish, since nowadays everyone like SHIITE ASS MUSIC!

when is Bjork or Radiohead gonna come out with something already!!

He can ''scare away'' fans all he likes, he'll soon find out when they stop coming back
