A James Blunt gig is the last place I’d expect to see bone-snapping crowd-surfing but that’s what happened at a recent show in America.

The tank commander broke his finger after launching himself from the stage into a sea of rampaging fans.

He said: “I don’t know what made me do it. I jumped off at the end and was chased by women – and men – in the crowd. I started running and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger. I can’t play the piano but I can still play the guitar.”

I’d launch myself offstage too after hearing You’re Beautiful for the eight millionth time.

The band will play three sold out shows, two in New York and one in Los Angeles, to throngs of Tokio Hotel fanatics. Not to be turned off by “Sold Out” signs, fans have turned to on-line auction site Ebay to try and guarantee a spot in the crowd. With tickets auctioning for $800 with 78 bids, it is safe to say U.S. demand for these superstars is high! While fans bid and out bid each other for tickets, it is business as usual for Tokio Hotel. Sold out shows are nothing new for the band, they have played to millions of fans worldwide selling out countless venues.

Singer James Blunt has turned to Spanish in an attempt to woo potential girlfriends – but he only knows saucy phrases. He says, “I can say two things, ‘Tienes un condom?’ and ‘Cosquillee mis pelotas’. The first means ‘Do you have a condom?’ and the second is ‘Tickle my balls.’ You tickle my balls. You tickle my balls. You tickle my balls, it’s true. I bet you all that’s the only phrase this pervert knows in Spanish and he would have learnt to say the same words over and over again with a few changes and that’s the only thing this chap wants to tell his potential girlfriends. I wish he meet a real hottie from Spain whose got an even more hotter head and gives him a real whack on his ass in front of a 100 odd gathering at an uptown restaurant where he gets so embarrassed that he first learns to say ‘sorry’ and ‘I apologize’. Then she makes him wash the dishes at the restaurant and has a bodyguard who a huge hunk and James has to leave the place with his tail between his legs, which would be real fun, haha.
