Exclusive from The Sun

BOYBAND Busted are on the verge of splitting up for good.

Frontman Charlie Simpson, 19, has made it clear to bandmates Matt Jay and James Bourne that he wants out.

The trio have not spoken to each other since their last gig at Wembley three weeks ago.

The group, together for two years, are now preparing a summit to discuss how to handle the break-up.



Tasha is a mad Busted fan but im sure she'll cope,there will be another boy band along soon to fill the void.

Lauren loves them as well and Im sure she would be disappointed, however, she still has McFly!

After various rumblings that the pop boys Busted were set to split - they've now admitted it's true... but have added that it's not a permanent separation.

Singer Charlie Simpson has decided that his career, for now, is not best served with Busted.


Their spokesman has revealed the boys' plans, saying: "Charlie is doing Fightstar at the moment. Busted will reconvene in due course."

He added that the band's other two members, Matt Jay and James Bourne, are "taking a break".

The lads rocketed onto the pop scene in September 2002, with their tune What I Go To School For, and instantly Charlie became a particular poster favourite for teenage girls.

Their split has been on the cards for months now, with reports that Matt and James were begging Charlie to stay with the band, but that the frontman was redirecting all his energies into his new rock band Fightstar.

He recently told Kerrang! magazine: "It was a fun job but I'd never claim Busted was anything other than a pop band. Busted is not the ideal band I'd like to be in by any stretch of the imagination."

It appears he's now longer keen to stretch that imagination - although their spokesman is intent on pointing out it's not a split for good... but that's what the Spice Girls said and we're still waiting.

Seems that Busted have confirmed their split today and from what I read there are no indications they will get back together!
