James Bourne of Busted fame has sent shockwaves across his fanbase after quitting the Busted vs McFly tour a day before it officially kicks off.
In an Instagram statement earlier today (September 15), the 42-year-old star wrote: “The VS tour kicks off tomorrow night in Birmingham, and as excited as I’ve been all year for this tour to begin, I’m really sorry to say that over the last eight days it has become clear that I am not in good enough health to play these shows.”

‘There’s a lot of information I still don’t have about my condition, but my bandmates, management and I are unanimous in deciding that I should focus on the medical stuff for now,” he explained.
“I really hope I can be in a position to come back further down the line. It’s still going to. be an amazing show and I will miss being there! See you all as soon as possible.”
James didn’t go into any further detail about his health issues.
Bandmate Matt Willis reshared James’ statement on his Instagram Story, adding: “Love you brother,” while Charlie Simpson simply reposted with a sad face and blue heart emoji.
Additionally, the official Busted Instagram posted a Story saying: “Can’t wait to have you back, JB. In the meantime, we’ve got this. #TeamBusted Birmingham we see you tomorrow!”
