Charlie Simpson’s Impressed With Ex-Bandmate’s Solo Work

Charlie Simpson has good things to say about his former Busted bandmate Matt Willis and his solo debut. “I think Matt will do well – his stuff is pretty good,” Simpson tells The Sunday Mail. “I’ve only heard one song so far but for what he is doing I think it’s really cool. In that realm of music, he has well-written, strong pop songs. I honestly do hope it works out well for him.” As for Simpson’s current band Fightstar, he admits the struggle to gain respect from rock fans hasn’t been easy. “It has been pretty much what I imagined it would be – a real struggle,” he said. “But as long as we stick to our guns, perform from the heart and let the music do our talking, we can’t go wrong.”
