As all sorts of celebrities have been putting videos and stuff online to keep people entertained during self-isolation, James Blunt had this announcement for his fans on Twitter.

During lockdown, while many other artists are doing mini-concerts from their homes, I thought I’d do you all a favour and not.

You're…..beautiful.

1)
My wife's infected
My hands are pure
I stole some handgel
from Coles I'm sure
They stared at me at Subway
I sneezed – on another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Corona's got a plan

You're isolated
You're isolated
You're isolated, it's cool

And it’s not the first time he’s tackled the fallout from Covid-19 on Twitter.

There was also this.

They can ban large gatherings, but as you can see here, it doesn’t seem to affect my shows:https://t.co/ZeST9ga4bt

And this.

Must be a bad time to be a hypochondriac.

Oh, and this.

Yeah, but I’m locked in with my mother-in-law. https://t.co/HJPS7SLfzH
