@ Koompfah19:, @ Risker:
Can you explain why this content was removed? "In August, 2020 it was reported that Blunt had developed scurvy from eating a meat only carnivore diet for two months." [1] [2]
The Independent and Self (magazine) are reliable sources. The story was also covered in many other UK newspapers. The definition of trivia is "details, considerations, or pieces of information of little importance or value". How is James Blunt having scurvy of little importance? How many other celebrities or musicians have been diagnosed with scurvy in the 21st century? I believe the content should be restored. The content itself is a single line and was positioned in the "Personal life" section. I don't see how this content is off-mission. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 18:57, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't see anything in the biography about Amanda Ghost collaborating with Blunt on the song "You're Beautiful", and then dragging him around to various labels trying to get him signed to a new contract. Sources exist for this stuff:
Ghost told The Guardian with a bit of hyperbole that she co-wrote "You're Beautiful" five years before it became a huge hit. That would be the year 2000, when Blunt was still in military service. Clearly she collaborated with him in 2003 when they were both in Los Angeles, and the song waited only two years to become a hit. She said the song was written in one afternoon.

I want to return the snippet of You're Beautiful to the article. I don't actually understand why it has been removed; it was considered important enough in the article back when it was made a Good Article back in 2008, and nothing has changed. I put it to you, Binksternet, to demonstrate why it should not be included. It is the song for which Blunt is best known, it made his fortune and his name (and arguably his entire career), and it gives the reader that snapshot of what Blunt is known for.

... should his (joke) threats to release more new music w/r/t the Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy be included in the article? It seems trivial but does show that he is wading into the debate. — AFreshStart ( talk) 17:48, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
