According to The Sun, little James Bourne, ex of Busted, now fronting his new band Son Of Dork, has expressed how angry he is with Charlie Simpson for quitting Busted when he did. Bourne is quoted as 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. Then Charlie suddenly turned the lights on and it was time to go home."
He continued "We begged him not to. Then we pressured him into doing a Press conference. The night before I dreamed Charlie would dramatically change his mind in front of the media...Then we could have cashed in on the publicity and got even bigger. Then I woke up and realised we were breaking up. It's odd because it happened when we were massive...We could easily have milked it for another year and still gone out with a bang."
I sympathise completely, but I'm not sure they could have really lasted another year. They did, after all, have McFly snapping at their heels.
