Busted?
- Boyband 'to split for good'
- Miffed Charlie: I want out
Boyband Busted are on the verge of splitting up for good.
Frontman Charlie Simpson, 19, has made it clear to bandmates Matt Jay and James Bourne that he wants out.
The trio have not spoken to each other since their last gig at Wembley three weeks ago. The group, together for two years, are now preparing a summit to discuss how to handle the break-up.
Both Matt, 21, and James, also 21, are privately devastated at the news - and have begged Charlie to reconsider.
But he is about to go on a two-month tour with his rock group Fightstar - and wants to quit. A source said: "Things are so bad between the boys at the moment that they all realise a split is inevitable."
"Charlie has never really hung out with Matt and James. None of them are close, you have to remember the band were put together."
"The rift between Charlie and the others is so bad now that they realise it's over."
Busted shot to fame in September 2002 with What I Go To School For which got to number 3.
They had seven more top three singles, including Crashed The Wedding, Air Hostess and You Said No.
It will be the latest in a long line of boyband splits, among them Take That, Boyzone, Five, East 17 and One True Voice.
Last night a spokesman for Busted insisted: "Charlie is doing Fightstar, Busted will reconvene in due course."
*sighs* I really don't know what to believe. I'm getting all too sick of this now. And one other thing, none of those other boybands..
- Sang live.
- Wrote their own songs.
- Played instruments.
.. which is really starting to annoy me, Busted aren't a frigging boyband!
