A shadow hangs over the band Busted as singer James Bourne continues to battle an unexplained illness, forcing yet another cancellation.
Weeks of uncertainty have followed Bourne’s sudden departure from the highly anticipated Busted Vs McFly tour, just a day before its launch. He shared his disappointment with fans, admitting he wasn’t well enough to perform after eight increasingly difficult days.
Now, the band – comprised of Bourne, Matt Willis, and Charlie Simpson – has been compelled to withdraw from a scheduled Radio 1 Anthems Live performance in Bradford on November 15th.
The band released a statement emphasizing that Bourne’s health remains their primary concern. They collectively decided it wouldn’t be appropriate to perform without him, expressing gratitude for Radio 1’s understanding.
The cancellation marks a further delay in fans seeing the full Busted lineup on stage, leaving many wondering about the nature of Bourne’s condition and hoping for his swift recovery.
Busted conveyed their eagerness to return to performing as a complete band, but only when the time is right, signaling a commitment to prioritizing Bourne’s well-being above all else.
