About this episode

Turn off your international roaming because we're going across the pond to learn about one of the UK's biggest boy bands of the early 2000's. 

Busted was anything but! The pop-punk band rocked the UK charts with eight top-10 singles and four number one hits . . . but all good things must come to an end. Singer-songwriter and Busted co-founder James Bourne joins Lance to talk about the band's highs and lows, their big break-up in 2005, to reuniting with his former bandmates for a 20th-anniversary tour and new album! 

Plus, Lance and James remember the time they interacted with the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Was it a bad experience or a thriller? Listen to find out!
