Fans rushed to the comment section to share their excitement.
“Huge!!!!!!!!” one wrote, while a second said: “Can’t wait, this’ll be epic”
James is responsible for massive noughties hits like Year 3000 and What I Go To School For alongside Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis.
He moved to New York after the band split in January 2005, five years after forming.
The boyband decided to go separate ways after Charlie decided to pursue other projects.
Fans were delighted in 2015 when they announced that they had re-formed.
They released their third studio album, Night Driver, on November 25, 2016.
The boys also headed back out on the road in Spring 2019.
But in 2023 Busted revealed they were reuniting AGAIN with another new album and tour, thrilling fans.
James has enjoyed a solo career of his own and formed a pop rock band called Son Of Dork.
They released their first single, Ticket Outta Loserville, in November 2005, which reached No3.
They followed this with their debut album, Welcome To Loserville, two weeks later.
Their second single Eddie’s Song hit a high of No10.
Although a split was never officially announced, Dave Williams, Chris Leonard and Steve Rushton all left to pursue other projects leaving James and Danny Hall the only members.
A reunion of sorts happened when James turned their debut album into Loserville: The Musical.
James also reunited with Matt and the band McFly to form supergroup, McBusted.
The boys enjoyed two successful sell-out tours and released their debut album in December 2014.
The self-titled album landed in the UK Top 10 and sold over 100,000 copies.
McBusted has been on hiatus since the original Busted trio reformed.
