Busted have teased that a reunion could be in the works, with the band having hinted this week that there will be upcoming celebrations for their 20th anniversary.
The band - consisting of Matt Willis, 39, Charlie Simpson, 37, and James Bourne, 39 - have teased a comeback, with an announcement due on Thursday (March 23).
They shared a video on social media which hints at celebrations to mark their 20th anniversary, with them having released their debut single and album back in 2002.
The footage shows a VHS cassette tape being inserted into a retro TV unit. There's briefly some static before the band's logo appears on the screen as the video comes to a close.

"Omg will there be a reunion?" asked one person. Others speculated over the possibility of a tour and even a new album, though the band have yet to announce such plans.
"Omg there is something happening," said one fan. Another commented: "Hopefully a new album or tour, or both". Whilst one wrote: "[I'm] trying not to freak out".
Charlie recently teased the possibility of a reunion following his appearance on the Masked Singer earlier this year - after he won the latest series of the ITV show.
He was asked about a potential new album and tour whilst on Capital Breakfast last month. He responded: "It might be coming. If it was coming I'd be sworn to secrecy."
