James Blunt 'not playing royal wedding'

A rep for James Blunt has confirmed that the singer will not be performing at the upcoming wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The 'You're Beautiful' artist began the rumour himself during a recent interview with Italian television station Sky TG24, during which he claimed that he would provide the music as the royal couple walked down the aisle next month.

"I'm actually playing," he said. "I'm not singing, I'm playing the church organ there."

However, Blunt's spokesperson has since told E News that the star was kidding with the remarks and that it's "just his humour".

Prince William and Middleton will marry on April 29.
