Busted’s Charlie Takes Break For Rock Project

Plans for a new Busted album have been put on hold while Charlie Simpson takes two months off at the beginning of next year to work with his new band Fightstar. “Charlie’s amazed at how successful Busted have become, but he knows the band aren’t going to go on for ever,” a friend of the 19-year-old revealed. “He wants to concentrate more on the sort of music he’s really into, and that’s what he plays with Fightstar.” A band spokesman said, “This doesn’t mean the boys are splitting. They still plan to reunite and work on their new album.”
