Difficulty with final challenge of Introducing Lists course

Tried following the same structure as what we did for expenses.py file a few videos back but can't seem to get the code running. I get an "Attribute Error: 'int' object has no attribute 'join'"

Thanks in advance for your help!

groups.py 
musical_groups = [
    ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
    ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],
    ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"],
    ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"],
    ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"],
    ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"],
    ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"],
]
# Your code here
musical_group = musical_groups[0]
for musical_group in musical_groups:
    print(musical_group.join(", "))
    musical_group+= 1

Remember, the join method is off of the string. musical_group there is a list of members.

Let me know if that hint doesn't do the trick. Looking good!

Please think how you can use join() method with the predefined separator and the loop.

# define the separator
sep = ", "
#create an empty string to use in output
band_string = ""
#iterate over each musical group
for band in musical_groups:  
    #join separator on each musical group
    # ....
    #print the output
    print(band_string)

for a short overview of join() method, please see https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_join.htm
