Busted was a pop rock band originating from London, England that consisted of James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson.

Their debut single, “What I Go To School For” was released in 2002 and charted at #3. The album Busted followed in September 2002. November 2003 saw the release of their second album A Present For Everyone. Both albums charted at #2 in the UK. A live album, A Ticket for Everyone was released in November 2004.

    Plastonick, if you're gonna make ignorant accusations like that, at least get the bad right. Pretty sure it was MCFLY and not Busted who covered that Queen song. (I don't care if you getting the names to the band wrong was on purpose just to make you look "cool" and "good"/"they all sound the same" blah blah blah) Get over yourself please. Cheers. BIG REUNION 2014 PLEASE.

    Obviously Matt and James are probably going to want to create Busted again, because they haven't really done anything since them. But Charlie has gone on to make an awesome band, and despite how much i like Busted, i think Fightstar are far too good for Charlie to go back to Busted from them...

    busted without charlie wouldn't be as good. he might have been the reason they broke up but they were perfect with all three of them. it wouldn't be the same. [2]

    Matt & James should just get back together again, find a new drummer and continue Busted as a new look three piece. They could still record under the Busted name, I think it'd work. [3]
