English rock band Busted formed when Charlie Simpson answered a musician-wanted ad placed by songwriting partners James Bourne and Matt Willis.
∙ A fan of Back to the Future, Bourne inserted references to the movie in the lyrics of Busted’s song “Year 3000.”
∙ The trio had four No. 1 UK singles, beginning with “You Said No,” in the early 2000s.
∙ In 2004, they played Wembley Arena an impressive 11 times.
∙ Busted’s bassist and co-vocalist Willis won a season of the UK reality show I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! by eating such bizarre foods as crocodile eye and mealworms.
∙ Outside of Busted, Bourne played in the group Son of Dork and has the solo project Future Boy, while Simpson fronts post-hardcore band Fightstar.
∙ In 2014, Busted and fellow UK superstars McFly joined forces to record and tour as the supergroup McBusted.
Members of Busted include, or have included, Tom Fletcher, James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and more.
