Busted stars share cryptic teaser for 20th anniversary reunion captioned 'March ... trends now

A Busted reunion could very well be on the cards soon as the band have hinted at a possible comeback date to mark their 20th anniversary this year.

Posting a cryptic video to the band's Instagram page, the pop trio - comprising Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis - captioned the post: '23/03/23 #Busted20'.

The short clip sees a Busted cassette being put into an old TV. The screen then goes fuzzy and flashes to the band's logo. 

The Busted account also changed their Twitter banner to a static noise background, overlayed by an outline of the band and the cryptic date.

There have been plenty of rumours about the band's reunion, particularly after band member Charlie hinted it could be on the cards this year. 

The rocker, 37, admitted while he is 'sworn to secrecy' about the project, there 'may be some plans' underway.

The pop punk trio first split in 2005, before reforming for an arena tour in the UK and Ireland in 2016.

Last month, the musician appeared on both Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, and ITV daytime show Lorraine to chat about his recent The Masked Singer win.

First, while on the radio, Charlie was asked if there were plans for a Busted anniversary tour or album, to which he admitted: 'Oh! It might be coming,' but swiftly added: 'If it was coming I would be sworn to secrecy again.'

Later, the crooner further teased an upcoming project with former bandmates Matt Willis and James Bourne, as he told Lorraine Kelly that there 'may be some plans' for a 20-year anniversary reunion. 

While on Capital Breakfast, Charlie admitted that his Busted bandmember Matt Willis 'knew' he was on The Masked Singer.

He said: 'My mum wife knew, otherwise she'd think I was having an affair otherwise. Then, no one else knew.

'The Busted boys, I was with them recently and they didn't say anything to me which I found strange.
