Ex-Busted Frontman Praises Fightstar Fans

He's "very grateful"...

Ex-Busted guitarist and frontman of Fightstar Charlie Simpson has praised his fans - admitting that he is “very grateful.”

Simpson formed the band following the breakdown of teenage sensation, Busted, and has since gone on to achieve critical acclaim with his new outfit.

  • Obviously Charlie and the boys aren’t that grateful. A forty minute set at glasgow ABC...Rubbish sound and a one dimensional stage act...probably OK for the under 18s who were there (who would have enjoyed whatever was served up), but speaking as a grown up it was appallling...
