James of Busted certainly felt the heat when the air conditioning unit on the band’s tour bus recently packed up. The band are currently touring the US and at one point were driving through the desert which all proved too much for young James who fainted and collapsed with heatstroke.

An emergency doctor was called out to find James badly dehydrated from tempratures of up to 110 degrees.

Charlie and Matt have maintained their cool and James recovered after plenty of rest and lots of water.

They are only a couple of weeks into their three month US expedition which is being filmed for an MTV reality show. The Busted boys are hoping to crack the US market following much success over here in UK.
