Mending : busted, not broken

Willis, Matt, 1983 May 8-2024
Books, Manuscripts
As a misfit teenager, Matt Willis was catapulted into the limelight with his band Busted, whose hits What I Go To School For and Year 3000 climbed the charts and earned them a Brit award, before they sensationally split at the very height of their fame. But the wild and carefree image Matt projected to the world hid the dark and troubled reality he was battling away from the spotlight. From the age of twelve, Matt had exhibited addictive behaviour. When fame arrived, his addictions took hold. To his fans and to the world he was Matt from Busted: a charming, cheeky pop star in the UK's biggest band. Behind closed doors, he descended into a spiral of alcoholism and drug abuse so extreme it threatened to destroy his world and that of those closest to him. 'Mending' is Matt's candid account of his life.
