Goodbye Busted!

1 of 6 On Friday 14 January 2005 Busted announced they have split up

2 of 6 On Wednesday, after months of rumours, the boys announced they were "taking a break". Fans were told the band would get back together soon

3 of 6 But sadly the boys snuffed out all hope of a reunion when they called a special press conference and said Charlie wanted to leave the band to work with his other band Fightstar so Busted is finished

4 of 6 During the announcement James looked pretty serious...

5 of 6 Matt looked a bit sad...

6 of 6 But Charlie looked pretty okay about the decision. He also told fans his decision to leave had been a difficult one to make and he hoped "fans will understand".
