James Blunt has addressed speculation that he was the unnamed British singer Hayden Panettiere described in her memoir as the man she was taken to on a yacht when she was 18, sharing an article that argues the timeline makes the theory impossible.
The 52-year-old singer shared journalist Dean Piper's Substack article on X on Monday, 24 August, after online speculation intensified following Panettiere's death on 16 August. Piper's article argues that Blunt could not have been the 'famous thirtysomething British singer-songwriter' described in This Is Me: A Reckoning.
