About
McBusted is a British pop/rock supergroup formed by the merger of two successful bands, McFly and Busted.

The lineup includes Tom Fletcher (vocals, guitar), Danny Jones (vocals, guitar), Dougie Poynter (bass, vocals), and Harry Judd (drums, vocals) from McFly, along with Matt Willis (bass, vocals) and James Bourne (vocals, guitar) from Busted. Known for their energetic and infectious pop rock sound, McBusted blends catchy hooks and harmonies with a boy band charm that appeals to a wide audience.
