Busted want to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary during their 20th anniversary tour.
The Air Hostess hitmakers are hitting the road for a 26-date arena tour launching next month, in support of their ‘Greatest Hits 2.0‘ collection, with shows booked across the UK and Ireland.
According to Charlie Simpson, two of the shows will be filmed and he, Matt Willis and James Bourne are hoping to make a film about their career to date.
“We are filming two of the shows. We don’t know what we will do with it,” he told The Sun’s Bizarre column. “I would like to make a documentary about the story of Busted, and we are in talks with a couple of people about possibly doing that
“It is a very cool moment in the band’s career.”
Having shared reimagined 2.0 versions of Loser Kid (feat. Simple Plan), Meet You There (feat. Neck Deep) and Crashed The Wedding (feat. All Time Low), the group return with their first-ever best-of collection on September 15.
The trio launched the LP alongside another crowd-pleasing collab as Busted are joined by Jonas Brothers for a rejuvenated take on Year 3000, lifted from the special edition of the record which collates newly recorded versions of all of the band’s biggest hits, fan favourites and live staples.
The album’s deluxe formats also feature duets with McFly, James Arthur, You Me At Six, The Vamps, Bowling For Soup, Dashboard Confessional, Deaf Havana, Wheatus and rising newcomer Charlotte Sands.
Also featured is a new version of Hanson’s MMMBop, a collaboration with the sibling trio, and the brand new song, Good One.
‘Greatest Hits’ is available to pre-order now.

Speaking exclusively in RETROPOP’s May 2023 cover feature, Busted opened up about their latest tour, with Matt promising it will be their “best ever”. “We have so many ideas,” he teased. “We’re in the stage where we’re throwing everything at people and they’re saying, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.’ Then they come back and say, ‘No, no, no, no, no – that’s gonna cost you all of your money. You can’t do that!’
“But at the moment, we’re just coming up with the coolest shit we can think of and if 30 per cent of what we’ve come up with happens, it will be the best show ever.”
