United Kingdom, July 24 -- Busted star James Bourne has said that he is "still not out of the woods" as he battles a mystery illness.

The 42-year-old musician withdrew from the Busted vs McFly tour last year for health reasons before revealing in April that he was undergoing surgery to "extend his life" - and he has now disclosed that the issue hasn't been completely resolved as he provided a rare update for fans where he promised to explain what has been going on at a later date.

James wrote in a new post on X: "As I'm taking a break from the gram, I'll be posting an update soon about what's going on with my health in my Spotify bio.

"It's a long story. Still not out of the woods yet. Thank you for your support and patience."
