James Blunt back 'home' in Switzerland
Multi-platinum selling musician James Blunt will be back in Switzerland to play shows in Geneva and Basel this month. The singer-songwriter is beloved in the Verbier area, where he often skis and has a home. And he is very successful in the country with several No. 1 singles and albums on the Swiss charts—even if those aren’t number ones in other countries, including his native Great Britain.
