Watch moment pop star slams festival crowd as he launches into sweary rant mid-show
BUSTED'S Matt Willis was met with boos at the Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday after launching into a sweary rant mid-show. Midway through the band's set, bassist Matt, 42, addressed the crowd in an attempt to raise the energy levels, but sparked backlash with his comments. He said: "We've played a few festivals this year so far and they've been mediocre. Boom! Yeah, f*** you Chester.' The comment appeared to refer to a previous performance in Chester earlier in the summer. While some festivalgoers laughed, others booed the remark, prompting Matt to quickly redirect his focus back to the Isle of Wight crowd. He said: 'But the Isle of Wight is gonna have it, right? Let me hear ya.' Footage of the moment circulated online after being shared by Blunt Magazine on Instagram, with the caption: '@mattjwillis tried to hype the crowd at @isleofwightfest on Saturday night — and instead found himself on the wrong end of a chorus of boos.' Busted, known for hits including Year 3000 and What I Go to School For, are currently performing at festivals across the UK. Despite the boos, Busted powered through with crowd pleasers like Year 3000, Air Hostess and Crashed the Wedding. The three-piece — made up of Matt, Charlie Simpson and James Bourne — first shot to fame in the early 2000s with their mix of pop-punk hooks and cheeky lyrics. Their 2002 self-titled debut album went four-times platinum, and follow-up A Present for Everyone cemented their status as teen idols. Despite splitting in 2005 after Charlie left to focus on his rock band Fightstar, the trio reunited in 2015 to huge fanfare. Matt Willis brings joy with free coffee giveaway - M&S Since then, they've enjoyed a full-fledged comeback with new music, anniversary tours and a fresh generation of fans discovering their early hits. Last year, they marked 20 years of Busted with a greatest hits tour — and even collaborated with bands like Simple Plan and Hanson on reimagined versions of their biggest tracks. 4 4 4
