BLUNT DENIED POP MUSIC AS A CHILD

British singer JAMES BLUNT was deprived of popular music during his childhood - and didn't hear rock music until he was in his teens.

James Blunt leaving ABC Studios after appearing on 'Live with Regis and Kelly'. New York City, USA - 21.11.07

The 33-year-old was introduced to classical music when his mother gave him a violin at just five - but the You're Beautiful hitmaker hadn't heard chart hits until classmates introduced them to him at school.

He says, "I've wanted to be a singer since I was a teenager. At home we just had once CD player so I had limited access to music.

"The guys at school obviously had much bigger record collections than I had so they introduced me to different types of music."
