Busted singer James Bourne has apparently collapsed with heat stroke. According to the Daily Mirror the incident happened after an air conditioning unit failed on the band's tour bus as they were travelling through the Colorado desert. Apparently outside temperatures had reached 110 degrees when the air conditioning stopped.
A source told the paper: "It was a nightmare for James. The heat was horrific and the boys were already tired from working so hard. As the temperature rose James became sick but because the band had to get to their next destination they couldn't stop. It was a typical case of heat stroke - feeling faint, the shakes, a terrible headache. Obviously it can be a very serious illness so a doctor was called immediately to check he'd be OK. Once James had been looked over, he was told to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water. The bus continued without air con until it arrived at the next city on the route. Thankfully, James recovered fine. He's a real trouper."
The silver lining to this cloud is that Busted, who are on a three month tour of the US, are being filmed by MTV for a reality show. Presumably they can make a whole episode around the title 'the day James got heat stroke'.
