British pop rock trio Busted have announced their new drummer for the upcoming Pigs Can Fly Tour supported by Wheatus and Emma Blackery, which begins at Wembley on May 11. Playing in the live shows will be Pieter Jacobus "Cobus" Potgieter, who is best known for his YouTube channel and covers of various bands including Breaking Benjamin and Fightstar. He is currently the second most subscribed to drummer on YouTube. It is not thought that he will be a permanent member of the band.

Busted's as-yet-untitled third album is set for release in Autumn 2016. The band had promised new music before the tour begins in two weeks' time.

I used to watch Cobus when I was at school years ago, and obviously listened to Busted when I was a wee kid. Actually really happy for him getting this though, he's a great drummer.

Not the only one in the band who can jam out a bit of Fightstar either.

Busted to cover Hazy Eyes during the tour, calling it now.

Ok. Color me stoked for this album, despite having never listened to busted. If this new album is half as good as the new fightstar i'll be happy
