Former Busted star Matt Willis spoke with Popworld.com in a Q&A, where he was asked about his thoughts tied to titles of recent hit singles. For Mika’s ‘Love Today’, he was asked what is the state of love today. “By Americas standards with the school shooting that happened, things aren’t very loving are they? Can you believe that,” he asked. “It’s the same over here, though. Almost every day you open the newspaper and some kid had been stabbed. I just don’t know how people could bring themselves to do something like that. It’s just a different world to me; I don’t understand people who can do that. There’s not enough love today. Fu**, that was deep for me, wasn’t it?” Popworld.com has since shut down.

I went to a wedding this weekend and it was the one song that everyone just went, ‘Ohhhh,’ until they played Busted actually and everyone went a bit mad at that as well. That was quite embarrassing for me, but still.”
