James Blunt’s first concert in Lebanon took place in February 2009 at the Forum de Beyrouth and was sold out. James Blunt returned to Beirut on June 27, 2011, for a concert at BIEL. All the profits went to the charity organization Tamanna, whose mission is to grant the wishes of children between 3 and 18 suffering from critical illnesses. A young girl whose dream was to meet James Blunt had the chance to go on stage with him and said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.
