TORONTO — Love to hate singer James Blunt? Bring it on.
The British musician spent a big part of 2013 responding to his haters, regularly posting witty comebacks to his Twitter hecklers.
Blunt has sold 20 million albums, won two Brit Awards and earned five Grammy nominations — largely thanks to his 2005 smash hit “You’re Beautiful” — and recently released his fourth album, Moon Landing.
Here are some of the best responses Blunt shared with his more than 347,000 Twitter followers last year:
