McFly vs. Busted
Busted star James Bourne has pulled out of the band’s joint tour with McFly at the eleventh hour due to undisclosed health reasons.
The two beloved boybands are coming together for their ‘McFly vs. Busted’ tour of the UK and Ireland, with the first gig taking place in Birmingham tonight.
Writing on Instagram yesterday, Bourne told followers: “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 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.”
McFly drummer Harry Judd replied: “Won’t be the same without you dude. Hope you’re back on Tour asap.”
The tour is scheduled to run until November 6.
