BUSTED 流行乐团闹翻天 在伦敦近郊的中产地区Fincheley，三个2002年三月才出道的年轻小夥子，因大肆举办乐声喧嚣的派对而街知巷闻。百无禁忌的Busted是由来自Southend-On-Sea的十八岁派对狂男孩James Bourne，来自Ipswich现年才16岁的Charlie Simpson,他长得活像是Caivin Klein广告模特，以及18岁发型超酷的Matt Jay所组成。
三位团员的相识过程非常的简单，Mattie和James两人是在Southend的一场派对中一拍即合、决定一起组团，但因为还缺一位团员，所以在报纸上登了广告，因此Charlie在2001年10月加入。出道短短的时间以来，以极具感染力的男孩活力，以吉他为基调的流行摇滚乐风征服了英国金榜，虏获了无数歌迷的心！首发专辑跃登英国金榜亚军，迅速突破白金唱片销量，“What I GoTo School For”与“Year 3000”接力跳上单曲榜TOP3之列！
Busted到底是什么调调？那就想象一下电影《美国派》男主角Jason Biggs(James)、性格演员James Dean（Charlie），以及英国电视影集《East Enders》中的角色Billy(Matt)凑在一起，鬼灵精怪中带点复古个性神采，差不多就是这样啦！
青春光明的音乐生命力-- 这就是Busted.
可惜的是05年1月14日，Busted正式宣布解散。

Busted Announcement
Following the departure of Charlie Simpson, Busted announced today (Friday 14th Jan 2005) that they have decided to split up.
Over the last two years James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis have become household names. Busted have had eight top three hits including four number ones. Both Busted albums, 2002’s Busted and 2003’s A Present For Everyone, have clocked up over 1 million sales each.
Busted won Best Pop Act and Best Breakthrough Act at the 2004 BRIT awards and they were nominated for Best British Group. Most recently they topped the charts with the theme to the Thunderbirds movie, which was voted Record Of The Year.
In the course of their career Busted have sold out 50 UK arenas including 11 Wembleys and last year they sold more Wembleys than any other artist (equaling the all time record), consolidating their position as the biggest and best pop act in the UK.
Says Matt Willis: “It’s a really sad day for all of us but we’ve always said that if one member left then we’d call it a day. The last three years have been unbelievable and I’d like to say a massive thank you to all our fans- you’ve been amazing.”
Says Charlie Simpson: “I’m incredibly proud of everything that we’ve achieved in Busted. We’ve enjoyed some of the best times in our lives together. I wouldn’t change one single bit of it. This has been a really difficult decision and I hope the fans will understand”
Says James Bourne: “I’m devastated that Charlie has chosen to quit Busted, but I have to respect his decision and I fully support him and wish him all the best for the future. I would like to say a personal thank you to all the fans who have made the last three years the best years of my life. I’ll remember these years forever.”
