Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis announced in
late 2015 that the trio, known for hits like "What I Go To
School For" and "Year 3000", was reforming. They have since been
on an arena tour in Britain and Ireland and released the album
"Night Driver" in November.
"It kind of feels normal now. It doesn't really feel weird or
strange anymore, it kind of feels like this is our band and
we're doing it again. It kind of feels right," Willis told
Reuters in an interview.
Simpson, who originally left Busted to perform in a rock band,
said he believed music had changed significantly since the group
first emerged, namely with streaming.
"I think it's changed in the last 18 months. Since we were first
around it's basically a different industry," he said.
"The way people consume music has changed...It keeps us on our
toes because you've got to keep moving with it. I think in five
years time it'll look very different to the way it is today," he
said.
Busted were speaking ahead of a performance on Tuesday night for
the Teenage Cancer Trust, where they were supporting singer Ed
Sheeran.
