Ex-Busted guitarist and frontman of Fightstar Charlie Simpson has praised his fans - admitting that he is “very grateful.”
Simpson formed the band following the breakdown of teenage sensation, Busted, and has since gone on to achieve critical acclaim with his new outfit.
He told ITN: "It feels very satisfying. I'm really grateful so many people got behind us so early on.
"They believed in us from the start and at the end of the day they're the ones that got us to this point."
