Fightstar are a British alternative rock/post-hardcore band, formed by Charlie Simpson (from Busted) on vocals and guitar, Alex Westaway on lead guitar and vocals, bassist Dan Haigh (both later from Gunship), and drummer Omar Abidi.The band originated while Charlie was still on Busted, when he met Alex Westaway and Omar Abidi at a party and connected over music after a jam session between them. After forming the band they hired Dan Haigh, Alex's high school friend to bass. They would rehearse as Charlie's schedule would allow until he later quit Busted, as at the time he was feeling creatively limited by the pop sound that they had.The band's first release was a six-track EP titled They Liked You Better When You Were Dead in early 2005, to positive reception after initial skepticism from the press due to Charlie's background with Busted. The song "Palahniuk’s Laughter" itself was a moderate success, thanks to its video rotation in the music video channels.The band released three albums afterwards; Grand Unification in 2006, One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours in 2007 and Be Human in 2009, as well the B-Side compilation Alternative Endings in 2008, helping them gain a small following in the British rock scene The band would on hiatus in 2010, with Charlie focusing on his solo material and Alex and Dan starting the Synthwave project Gunship. They would reunite in 2014 to record their fourth album Behind the Devil's Back, released in 2015, before going on a second hiatus, with Charlie later returning to Busted and Alex and Dan focusing on Gunship.In 22 March 2024, the band reunited to play an one-off show in the Wembley Arena.
