Busted star James Bourne reflected on the future of the band as he looked forward to their comeback tour which may be the trio's last.
Matt Willis, Charlie Simpson and James confirmed they are reuniting for a 15-show tour and a new album.
In an exclusive interview with Mirror, James looked to the future as he questioned the possibility that he and his bandmates would be able to do a similar tour again.
He said: "The scary thing is what we will have to look at quite seriously is that in 20 years from now, there's no guarantee that we will all still be alive. There's no guarantee and that is really scary because we don't take fans for granted."
