Although it's been several years since James Blunt was in the army, it seems that old habits die hard.
After believing that he had found a secluded farmhouse on the island of Ibiza in which to escape to for a bit of peace and quiet, the singer has been dismayed to find that eager fans have managed to track him down and loiter at his gates.
The solution? A gun that fires rocks to scare them away.
"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," Blunt lamented.
"When I come here I want to get away from it all and I just keep 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."
Blunt's not-so-secret hideaway cost the princely sum of £1.7 million and has six bedrooms, a library, sun terrace and swimming pool.
