James Bourne Departs ‘Busted Vs McFly’ Tour Due To Health Issues

Busted's James Bourne will be absent from the band’s upcoming arena tour with McFly in order to deal with undisclosed health issues.

Writing on social media today (September 15), he said “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 8 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. 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.”

The ‘Busted Vs McFly’ 35 date arena tour of the UK and Ireland will begin tomorrow night (September 16) in Birmingham.

Everyone at Rock Sound sends our best wishes to James and hopes for a speedy recovery.
