Charlie Simpson

Charlie Simpson (from Busted and Fightstar) has gone solo. He already has an album out, 'Young Pilgrim', and is working on his second. Unfortunately he has said that he won't rejoin Busted, Is there any room for a Busted reunion? ‘Never in a billion years.’, unlike Matt and James. He wants to continue working on his own projects, dick. Sorry Charlie, I love you but there are 7 billion people out there who want a Busted reunion, I guess we just have to go back to our little shrines, wait , I'm not the only one with a Busted shrine am I, you know, a corner in my room with posters, size 6-7 band t-shirts, albums and candles to set the mood?

He has gone from op-rock to alternative rock that got heavier and heavier, and now to folk, its pretty obvious that this 6.3ft giant likes a change so maybe that 'never in a billion years' will be changed to a yes, I know it's a long shot and I'm just being one of them annoying optimistic cows but hey, he may, I hope!

To all you Fightstar fans I wouldn't worry too much, the band is just in hiatus, Charlie said somewhere that they were a little burnt out as they had released three records in a row. So unlike Busted their is a big chance that Fightstar will produce music again soon, lucky you Fightstar fans.

I really hope he keeps up his solo work up a little longer though, I'm not really a big fan on folk music but I really like his solo music, plus it was mainly funded by the fans when he put some things up on Pledge Music which is basically where an artist/band puts things up like signed posters or albums and the fans 'pledge' only problem is they don't take the money out until the goal is reached but if the goal isn't reached in time I don't think you get the stuff, it's really good and Starboy Nathan did one before and I even got the album the day before digital sale and two days before hard copy sale and then I got it signed again when I met him.

Some good news though, his second album should be out sometime this year, who's excited?! I am!

He has also set a world record of playing the coldest gig which is -30 degrees Celsius in Siberia. It was so cold he could barely play his guitar, yet he still did an awesome job at it. 

Comment what you think, and if there are any Pilgrims out there please comment and share!

Oh, wait! My name is Charley so I could do the Busted reunion instead! Only problem is I'm a girl, can't sing and it's spelt differently, oh well, doesn't matter. 

His world record gig.
