Nicky sits down with Busted's James Bourne for a candid conversation about life in one of the biggest bands of the early 2000s. James opens up about his journey from West End child performer to pop stardom, the brutal three-month ultimatum from his father to get a record deal, and that pivotal meeting with Simon Cowell. He reveals the raw emotions behind Busted's shock split at their peak, the creative process behind hits like 'What I Go To School For' and 'Year 3000,' and how he bounced back through McFly collaborations and Son of Dork.
