Matt Willis has conceded he'll never be able to compete with Fightstar. The booze-loving former Busted bassist, 21, has struck up a solo deal with Island Records. But he's confessed he's got no chance of getting the same level of critical acclaim that ex-bandmate Charlie Simpson's new project is currently achieving. So he's hooking up with the biggest pop music writers on the planet to make sure he's not left entirely red-faced by his solo efforts. Greg Alexander, the former New Radicals frontman who's penned hits for Ronan Keating, has been writing with Matt. As have A frontma Jason Perry, American rocker Steve Ludwin and, most intriguingly of all, Blink 182's Tom Delonge. My source tells me: 'He knows that his biggest talent is as a singer. 'He's under no illusion that he's an amazing musician so he's not planning to present himself as one by trying to follow the credible rock route that Charlie's going down with Fightstar. 'His solo stuff is the poppier side of rock, a step up from Busted really.' Fightstar will release an album early next year. Matt's new material isn't likely to surface before then either as he is yet to make it into the studio after a very public battle [scan cuts off but I assume it's about the alcohol problem].
