Busted Set To Split
Boyband Busted are expected to confirm to their fans today that they are going their separate ways.
The trio, who have had a string of top five singles since bursting on to the music scene in 2002, have been the subject of intense speculation for months.
The move has clearly been prompted by Charlie Simpson, who wants to concentrate on his new 'grown up' rock group Fightstar.
And he's not hanging around as they kick off their first tour TONIGHT at Warwick University.
Former public schoolboy Charlie recently said: "Busted is not the ideal band I'd like to be in."
But a spokesman maintains that the band will not split for good.
"Charlie is doing Fightstar at the moment. Busted will reconvene in due course," he said.
Busted's other two members, Matt Jay and James Bourne, are "taking a break", he added.
Busted shot to fame in September 2002 with the teenage anthem What I Go To School For.
They have had seven more top three singles, including Crashed The Wedding and You Said No.
The band's attempts to crack America were turned into a fly-on-the-wall MTV show.
