Busted star Charlie Simpson has sparked concerns after cancelling a string of UK gigs amid James Bourne’s mystery health battle.
Earlier this week, bandmate Charlie told the crowd that James was ‘really sick’ and we ‘love him so much and we miss him’.
Choking back tears, Matt Willis continued: ‘We love him, we talked to him and we said, mate, do we pull out of this? What do we do? He said no – I want you to keep playing the shows.’
This came after James recently revealed that his health was ‘not good enough’ to tour the UK and Ireland with McFly.
In his statement, James said he ‘hoped to come back further down the line’, however.
Now, following the news that Charlie has cancelled several future gigs, there are growing worries amongst the Busted fanbase.
According to the Sun, fans who attempt to buy tickets to see the band are greeted with the following response: ‘Thank you so much for buying tickets to Charlie Simpson’s DJ set at Gorilla Manchester.
‘Unfortunately due to the ongoing health issues of James and the strain that it is putting on Charlie and the rest of the band, he has had to make the difficult decision to cancel all upcoming DJ sets.’
It went on: ‘All tickets will be refunded, please expect a refund in 3-5 working days.
‘We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused. Many thanks.’
More to come.
