Life was so easy for McFly and Busted before they coagulated into McBusted: Busted only had to keep track of Matt and James, seeing as Charlie stropped off to make ‘real’ music; McFly only had to keep tabs on four band members, which administration-wise takes about a WhatsApp group at best. Life was easy and nobody got lost. Life was easy and the records kept on selling.
Anyway now life is hell and everyone is busy and they keep bloody losing James Bourne, don’t they? They keep bloody losing him. Where’s James? WHERE IS JAMES?
"There’s six of us now, it’s harder to keep track of everyone,” Tom McFly said at the Hyde Park British Summer Time event. “We should put trackers on us. Especially James.” Yeah: turns out nobody can ever get James to turn up anywhere on time, even Matt from Busted, who has to wake him up on the daily. What could James be doing that makes him so busy? Carefully tying a fat knot in a school tie? Lacing and unlacing a knackered old pair of Converse? Trying to actually travel to the year 3000? We may never know. We may never know.
