Chart-topping singer manages to go undetected as he takes the tube to his sold out show at the O2 Arena – so do YOU know who it is?

His Number 1 song You’re Beautiful is all about a man who finds love on the London underground. 

Yet James Blunt was on the tube for a different reason on Sunday as he headed to his sold out show at the O2 Arena in Greenwich. 

Despite an estimated net worth of £15 million, the Goodbye My Lover singer, 50, took the District and Jubilee lines undetected from his West London pub, The Fox and Pheasant, to the arena.

He somehow managed to go unnoticed by fellow commuters and passers-by heading to the concert, even as he stood next to a promotional poster for his own gig.

James documented the 37-minute journey on X, formerly known as Twitter, posting photos of himself dressed casually in stonewashed jeans, a baseball cap with his surname in small print and his trademark aviator jacket.

‘In case you were wondering… it took 37 minutes from my pub @TheFoxnPheasant, to my gig at @TheO2,’ he wrote.

The musician is celebrating 20 years since the release of Back to Bedlam, performing the full album along with his greatest hits at the packed 20,000-seat venue.

Fans commented: ‘How long did it take you to get home?’; ‘Can’t relate to that girl sitting next to him I would genuinely pass out’; 

‘I love how that girl sat next to you has no idea who you are!’; ‘Imagine sitting next to the goat and not knowing. Wow’; 

‘It was such an amazing show and experience! Really took me back to 2004 listening to Back to Bedlam on repeat. Loved it!’;

‘The girl sat beside you has no idea how many of us wishing that was us’; ‘Did she smile at you?’ 

James, who shot to fame in 2004, balances his music career with running his Chelsea pub, which he rescued from closure in 2017.

‘I’ve had plenty of pints, first as a soldier, then as a musician,’ he once shared.

Speaking about his venture into hospitality, he added: ‘I’m fully trained – the bar staff try and keep me as the pot washer because they are a bit embarrassed of me, but it is awesome to own a pub.

‘If people say where are we going tonight, I say “I own a pub, let’s go there!”

‘It is an amazing 107-year-old pub. We used to call it the Fox and Unpleasant, but we’ve sanded it down. If you are in the UK ever, come on down.’

Fans were quick to share their shock at the singer going undetected on his journey 

Having released seven studio albums and authored a memoir, Loosely Based On A Made-Up Story: A Non-Memoir, James also enjoys family life with his wife, Sofia Wellesley, and their two sons – whose names have not been revealed.

The couple, who met in 2010, tied the knot in 2014.

Back in October last year, James vowed to legally change his name to ‘Blunty McBluntface’ if his new album made it to number one in the charts.

He re-released his 2004 album Back To Bedlam and promised to change his name to ‘whatever the public wanted’ if the music reaches the top .

GMB hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid asked how long James would keep the name, he replied: ‘I don’t know the legal limit, it hasn’t been researched very well.’

He warned his fans: ‘The British public would have to live with the shame of buying a James CD. The race is on for number one, I’d be happy for number two.

‘Fingers crossed it won’t make number one. My wife would change back to her maiden name if it does.’

In the end, Back To Bedlam reached No. 7 in the charts.

James said: ‘It’s an amazing result after 20 years. I’m glad I didn’t have to change my name – looks like you’ll all have to put up with “James Blunt” for another few decades…’

When he’s not in the UK, the 1973 singer can be found at his six-bedroom villa in Ibiza.
