Isn't he still in Fightstar? I'm not a fan of them, but maybe they're recording an album or something.

I'm sorry to pull up this old thread, but I hate making new threads!

I'm not a huge Charlie Simpson fan, but am absolutely loving his new song, Down, Down, Down.

down, down, down

I can't stop listening to this song. It's amazing! I'm glad it's getting airplay too, especially on Radio 1, as that's how I first discovered it.

I hope it becomes popular as it is such a great song.

Is he solo now then or is it a Fightstar song?

Solo. With some gorgeous acoustic guitar. I second the opinion that it's a lovely little song

And those beautiful harmonies!! It's become my summer song, even though it isn't officially summer yet.

He's still in Fightstar. They're going in the studio later this year.

He released an EP a few months ago which was excellent and releases his solo album in August.

I always liked the Busted songs that were "his" songs if that makes sense. I bought Fightstar's first album and really liked. I might give his solo stuff a listen too.

The one thing I don't understand is why he auditioned for Busted. I think he used it as a stepping stone and decided that he would leave when he first joined them. It's a shame.

I could understand more if as time went on it wasn't what he wanted to do, but I'm sure when he quit he said he hated all of it.

Anyway, I quite like his first solo single.

I still can't take him as a serious musician, all these years down the line... the mental image of him in the Crashed The Wedding video is an image that I will affiliate with him forever!

That's exactly why he did it, which is a shame for Matt and James

Yeah it is a shame for them. I'm sure they thought he was their friend, how wrong were they?

From personal experience, he is a horrible and ungrateful person.

But I'll always love Busted.
