BOURNE BLASTS SIMPSON FOR QUITTING BUSTED
English rocker JAMES BOURNE has launched a scathing attack on his former BUSTED bandmate CHARLIE SIMPSON, claiming his decision to quit the pop trio has "cost us millions" of pounds.
After two years in the charts and four numbers one singles, Simpson decided to quit the CRASHED THE WEDDING group in January (05) to focus on his new group FIGHTSTAR, forcing remaining members Bourne and MATT WILLIS to disband.
However, nearly a year later, Bourne is still furious with Simpson, saying, "We missed out on a fortune, millions of pounds each. Matt and I were devastated.
"We were having the biggest party of our lives. The Charlie suddenly turned the lights on and it was time to go home.
"It's odd because it happened when we were massive. We'd set a new record by playing Wembley (Arena) 11 times in a year. We won two Brits and Record Of The Year. Our single THUNDERBIRDS was number one and we had an MTV show in America.
"Then suddenly it ended because Charlie wasn't into our music any more. We could have milked it for another year and still gone out with a bang."
Bourne has since formed a new group SON OF DORK, while Willis has spent time in rehabilitation for an alcohol-related problem.

Well having read the article I have to say that this doesn't sound like James at all, this is pure evil Victoria Newton being her usual vitriolic self. The Sun are only happy if they are destroying other people.

Libi text me at 7am this morning to tell me to get the Sun because of this, I was furious. I was having a nice dream. But anyway, I said earlier, ten years later. If he did actually say that. I couldn't care less anyway. I really couldn't. At the end of the day, Busted have split up, and no amount of whinging or stories in the paper is going to change that. Master of the obvious, but it's true. So he should just fkn let it go and move on.

I'm split on this one... whos to say he didn't say it... i mean its sad if he did and its all over the money because he isn't portrayed that way normally so I don't want to believe that he would say it but at the same time.... people are greedy in this world and it could have been about the money..... and its true they could have 'milked it' for another year adn still left on top... but again whats done is done and to be honest I'm still a wee bit bitter about it but can't do anything about it
