James Bourne's Instagram account has disappeared, months after he pulled out of Busted's tour due to health issues. The account now shows a blank page with the message: 'Sorry this page isn’t available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.' This typically indicates the account was deleted by Instagram or the user.
Busted, consisting of James Bourne, Matt Willis, and Charlie Simpson, formed in 2000 and split in 2005 before reuniting ten years later. In September last year, the band co-headlined a UK and Ireland arena tour with McFly, but Bourne pulled out hours before a show, citing 'health problems'.
In a statement at the time, Bourne said: 'There’s a lot of information I still don’t have about my condition but my bandmates, management and I are unanimous in deciding that I should focus on the medical stuff for now.' Matt Willis told fans on stage: 'James Bourne is really f***ing sick, and we love him, and we miss him.'
In April this year, Bourne revealed he had a plan for 'major surgery' that should 'extend my life' and make him well enough to return to touring. The disappearance of his Instagram account has sparked further concern among fans.
