Blunt to perform at Elton's Oscars bash
James Blunt will perform at the 15th annual Elton John Aids Foundation Academy Awards celebration on February 25 at the Pacific Design Center, the foundation announced last night.
“James is a truly talented singer-songwriter,” John said in a statement. “His voice and expressive lyrics enchant audiences worldwide. I have no doubt that he will do the same for our guests on Oscar night.”
Blunt, 32, is up for five awards at the Grammys, which will air live on CBS on Sunday.
His double-platinum debut album, Back To Bedlam, yielded smash hit You’re Beautiful. He toured with John in 2004.
The Elton John Aids Foundation has raised nearly £60m (€90.9m) to support HIV/Aids prevention and services since it was founded in 1992.
