British singer/songwriter James Blunt has shunned her cute and cuddly side and has invested in a gun.

Blunt has bought the weapon that fires only rocks to protect himself from stalkers and obsessive fans at his new millionaires pad in Ibiza.

The 150 year old �1.7million villa reportedly features six bedrooms, a library, sun terrace, stone floors and a swimming pool.

He moved into the villa earlier this year and it has already become popular with souvenir hunters rifling through his bins.

According to the Mirror he said: �I�ve not had my place in Ibiza long but since I�ve been here I�ve experienced a lot of people hanging around outside my house, it�s totally out of order.

�When I came here I just wanted to get away from it all and I just kept to myself so I�d like some privacy in return. I�ve gone out and bought a gun that shoots rocks so if I catch anyone hanging around then I�ll get them with that.

�Some people just go too far, it�s an invasion of privacy.�

If I was him, I�d be enjoying the popularity while it lasts�we�ve got James Morrison now to replace this misery guts!
