Busted singer-songwriter James Bourne has faced harsh criticism on social media over his ‘rude behaviour’ towards fans at a meet and greet as was branded ‘rude’
Busted star James Bourne has been slammed online for his “rude behaviour” towards fans at a meet and greet.
The singer-songwriter, 40, appeared uninterested when the band met with fans for a signing. Busted are currently on a UK tour, as they mark 20 years together as a group. They initially reunited in 2015, but have come back with a 15-show tour as well as a new album featuring reworks of all their classic hits to celebrate two decades in the industry.
However, some fans have been left disappointed with James’ lack of interaction with fans on the tour. Taking to TikTok, one fan shared their encounter with the band at a signing. Matt Willis was at the start of the table, where fans passed along their merchandise to be signed. He said hello to the fans, and thanked them for watching his recent documentary.
Charlie Simpson also said hi to the fan, and gave her a compliment on her hair while writing his signature. James was at the end of the table and as the fan-filmed herself standing in front of him, he picked up his mobile phone. He signed the merch but continued to look at his phone and didn’t engage with the fan. The post sparked comments about James’ behaviour towards the fans, as the poster said: “Gutted I couldn’t get a photo with them but was amazing to meet them.”
