BUSTED star James Bourne has been seen for the first time since disclosing a mystery illness and pulling out of the band’s tour.
James, who has racked up eight top ten singles including four No1s with Busted, dropped out of the McFly V Busted tour last September citing his health.

In June, The Jattvibe told how James had thrown himself into Murder At The Gates, a new musical he co-created with US playwright Steven Sater.
It came months after the singer, 42, told fans he was having surgery to ‘extend his life’.
