You may not like James Blunt's music, but you can't fault the man's sense of humour.
If you follow the 'You're Beautiful' singer on Twitter, you'll be well aware that he is something of an expert troll and certainly not afraid of poking fun at himself.
He did just that yesterday, before it was announced that Florence and the Machine would be replacing Foo Fighters' Glastonbury headline slot, by tweeting the below:
Amazed and thrilled to get the call from @GlastoFest to headline in place of @foofighters. Of course I said yes! #rockon

Unfortunately, it seems that some people actually believed him, and their reactions weren't pretty:
@JamesBlunt Fuck off!

It gets even worse for Glastonbury ticket holders. First Foo Fighters cancel, now their replacement is to be... James Blunt. I'm not kidding

Well played, Blunty.
