Safely excluded from all that messy Busted litigation, he being a late arrival in the boy band, Charlie Simpson is free to concentrate on the next stage of the career of his new band, Fightstar, and that is due to kick off on 11 May with the release of a free download single. Yes, a free download single. They're just too good to us. The free track will be called '99' and will be available from http://www.fightstar99.com.
Here's what Charlie has to say about the free track: "The inspiration behind '99' was based on the fact that you should cherish the seconds you have with the people you love when they are there, and not take them for granted. Because when they are gone, you won't have the chance to, and you will be left with the haunting thought that you could have".
Deep stuff. Fightstar are currently recording their second album in LA, but will be back in the UK next weekend for the Give It A Name festival which is set to make an appearance in London, Birmingham and Glasgow.
