Busted have cancelled an upcoming Radio 1 concert on November 15 due to James Bourne’s ongoing illness, as it’s still unclear what is ailing the singer following weeks of no-shows.
Last month, James quit the historic Busted Vs McFly tour across the UK and Ireland just over 24 hours before it was due to kick off due to his health.
Posting a statement on Instagram, he shared: ‘The VS tour kicks off tomorrow night in Birmingham and as excited as l’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 🙁’
Now, it appears James’ health has not sufficiently improved, as Busted – made up of James, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson – have been forced to pull out of a one-off Radio 1 gig in a fortnight.
‘We are sorry to say that we will no longer be performing at Radio 1’s Anthems Live in Bradford on November 15,’ the band’s official page announced on Instagram.
‘James’ health is our priority and having discussed as a band we agree it wouldn’t feel right to do this without him.
‘We love Radio 1 and thank them very much for their understanding.
‘We look forward to being back performing as a full band when the time is right.’
