Q: First thing's first. Are you going to continue with this site?
A: Yeah, of course. I'm not putting two and a half years of hard work to waste. :-) Although I have websites for each of their projects, this site will be staying in tribute of the band and as a big resource for everything to do with Busted.

Q: Now the most important question evahhhh. Do Busted have girlfriends?
A: Matt is dating Emma Griffiths, TRL presenter. At first, he said that they are good friends, but now it's more than that.
Charlie is still with his childhood sweetheart, Camilla Smith, despite rumours claiming they have split up again. Camilla went to Framlingham College with him as well, and she now works in TV, namely Bo Selecta, and she appears on the DVD series 2. Without You (on the first album) was written about her. Apparently they are engaged, but I find it strange that nothing more has been said about it.
As for James, was with actress Kara Tointon, who has appeared in a number of TV series' (currently in Eastenders), films and adverts. As far as I know, they are no longer together.

Q: Why did Busted split up?
A: After much speculation and a lot of denials from Busted since Charlie joined Fightstar in December 2003, he sadly decided that it was time to leave Busted on January 13th 2005. James and Matt agreed not to carry on with Busted as a duo, so the three announced the next day that Busted was officially over.
Along with all the fans, James and Matt are absolutely devastated by his decision, but they have insisted that they respect it.
The reason behind Charlie's decision is that Busted's management forced him to choose between Busted and Fightstar, and although Charlie had made it very clear that he preferred Fightstar, he had a very difficult few days making a decision because he really didn't want to leave Busted either.

Q: So what's planned for the boys in the future?
A: Charlie is obviously with Fightstar, and they are enjoying quite a lot of success - whether this will continue is yet to be seen. Their album is out on March 13th.
James is now in a band called Son Of Dork, and their first single and album were out in November. They sound like Busted but slightly harder. He's also very likely to carry on writing songs for other bands.
Matt is going solo. Sorry,

MATT IS GOING SOLO

so please stop asking me what he's doing! Ha. Again, he'll probably go with a harder sound, but keeping in a kind of Busted sound.

Q: When is Matt's single coming out?
A: At the moment, it's rumoured to be May, but I personally think it should be April.

Q: Busted said they'll do something as a goodbye present for the fans. What do you think it'll be?
A: There was a rumour that it was going to be a greatest hits CD, but Charlie didn't agree to it or something - no idea if that's true though. It's obvious that nothing is going to happen now, unfortunately. But here's my ideal present - a dual disc CD.
CD1 - all the singles plus some b sides.
CD2 - fans' favourites (songs like That Thing You Do that weren't released) aaand brand new tracks.
Enhanced section - videos of all the songs they didn't perform on the first arena tour (Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Psycho Girl, acoustic set, Meet You There, Over Now, Falling For You, maybe Why because apparently Charlie completely changed it).

Q: Where can I write to them?
A: First off, I have no idea how reliable these are, especially as Matt and James are now signed to Mercury Records rather than Universal, but they are the only ones I have.

UK:
Busted

USA:

Q: Let's hear about you. Who's your favourite member?
A: I'm not bothered. I think Matt is the most attractive (only without the facial hair, ha), and James is my absolute idol/twin.

Q: What's your favourite Busted song?
A: Too many. Sleeping With The Light On is one of my favourite songs of all time, so I have to say that. Then there's Why, That Thing You Do, Better Than This, Fake, Everything I Knew, She Wants To Be Me... and that's just album tracks.

Q: Okay, favourite b side?
A: Originals - Mummy Trade and Last Summer. Covers - Fall At Your Feet and Runaway Train... and all the others, because I think (and I'm not just saying this to suck up) that every one of their covers is better than, or at least as good as, the original. (apart from Peaches, which is basically the same, and That's Entertainment and Brown Eyed Girl are debateable).

Q: Son Of Dork or Fightstar?
A: Go away, haha. They're both different, and I haven't heard much of Son Of Dork yet. Fightstar are great, but I prefer the general genre that Son Of Dork are in... they have silly song titles, though.
