The Year 3000 pop rockers took over Trentham Gardens in Stoke-on-Trent for the last of the estate’s live music events as Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis celebrated the band’s 20th anniversary . It’s been 22 years since the boys burst onto the scene with their self titled debut album, with a generation of fans growing up with their music and cheeky lyrics .
Those same fans are now in their 30s and starting to settle down, and one couple in the crowd held up a sign asking Busted to help with their gender reveal. James spotted it near the front and immediately put it to the ‘committee’, with Matt and Charlie quickly agreeing to the expecting parents’ request. ‘We need a drum roll please,’ said James as the trio huddled round a big envelope, and took a moment before revealing the news.
‘It’s a boy,’ they shouted, while Charlie said: ‘That’s awesome!’ ‘Congratulations,’ James added, and it turned out the gender reveal was almost as intense for the band as it was for the couple. Charlie said: ‘Wow! That was nerve wracking! That’s the first time we’ve ever done that!’ ‘That’s f***ing exciting,’ Matt beamed. ‘That s**t didn’t happen in 2004! You with your f***ing bunny ears on!’ The show started with a mass.
