McFLY: Due to unforeseen circumstances McFly are no longer on the bill for this years concert at Fitzgerald's Stadium on July 18th. An alternative date is being looked at for the INEC. Once this date has been confirmed a discount ticket price will be offered for anyone who holds a ticket stub for the July 18th concert. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

If it makes you feel better at least you didn't find out on the day like at Halifax.

Dougie and Frankie in Manchester

Outside the Malmaison hotel where they were staying. It's the one opposite the train station (Picadilly) by the way. I saw all the papps outside ha ha
And I have no reservations about posting which hotel it is because I don't care if The Saturdays get mobbed!

Nice to see Dougie carrying everything like I knew he would be. :-/

What happened to that spunky ass faced kid wif attitude that we all fell in love with?

What do we know about McFlys' new material?

What do we know about the stuff McFly are recording? I've tried to compile everything I've HEARD but not all of it will be true.

There was a rumour that the album was going to be called 'Take That'. Sadly Tom quashed that rumour. He may be open to bribes though so I'll keep you posted ha ha

In an interview done with Dougie, the album is supposed to have a science-fiction theme. "It will absolutely kick ass - it is going to blow your heads off. The whole concept of the album is really cool. It's more the story we've been working on, think McFly meets The Forbidden Planet."

According to Tom, one of the songs begins with the word/abbreviation 'I've'. Which is an awful lot to go on. Not.

One of the songs is apparently the greatest love song ever. OR Tom said it was at least until he started singing on it ha ha

One of the songs is like Star Girl, in that it's about female aliens but it's a lot more subtler than Star Girl.

Two oldish rumours are that McFly are doing a rap with a proper rapper from America. And that they are trying to do a duet with a female solo singer. Apparently the management were wanting Kelly Clarkson but it wasn't looking likely.
I think both of these rumours are a load of rubbish.

We know Ant Brant has been in the studio with Tom, Danny and Jason.

Before the UK tour McFly had recorded drums, bass and most of the guitar on 12 songs (although Tom later said 9 songs on twitter, he told me 12 on myspace), but with the vocals to records after the tour. They or Tom at least were still working on the lyrics during the tour because they hadn't even been finished! They'd written and recorded the music side but not the words. But as we know Tom was ill with tonsilitis after UCATTIP so I assumed the studio sessions got called off to preserve his voice for South America. McFly still hadn't finished writing lyrics by the time they got back to the UK. Tom said they had another big bunch of songs to start recording mid summer, which I'm guessing is the stuff that he and Danny are working on with Ant and Jason right this minute.

There's the 'feel-good' song of summer in there somewhere.

But basically Tom said they're very inspired and writing and recording as much stuff as they possibly can.

It's looking like no new material until 2010 though, while the lads tour other countries and play and promote Radio:ACTIVE out there. It makes sense. I can't see them playing 'old' stuff in other countries and releasing new stuff at home.

But they may surprise us.

We all know about Harry raising money for the BIRT because of his girlfriends' brother Rupert. Well a while ago they had a fundraiser.

Here's the picture of Harry with Escala LINK

Chapter Twenty
"Harry, Harry wake up!" Harry jolted awake, blearily. "Transmission from Jack. He says it's urgent." Harry groaned.
"Can't you take it?"
"No, you're the leader," replied Tom, firmly. "You can't avoid him forever," he whispered. Harry dragged himself up and went down the spiral staircase to his computer.
"Hello Jack."
"Harry, how's it going? I hope I didn't catch you...catnapping." He knew about Rasmus, great. "Only joking, I'm sure he's as fearless and daring as the rest of you." Yeah, couldn't resist could you, thought Harry. Another excuse to mock me. Captain Jack's grinning face turned serious. "We've had word from an old colleague of ours that there's trouble afoot in the Daktarin galaxy. Seems it's related to your little alien friend." Harry was suddenly very alert.
"Dougie? Why, what's wrong?"
"It seems after Neema failed to kill him, the old warlords up there got a bit flustered. They've sent a whole gang out this time and they're deadly serious on wiping him out. They've put up a high price on his head - so high that no bounty hunter would think twice about going after him. All the golden boys are rumoured to be heading your way - Azif, Sarin, Totan..." Harry swore and put his face in his hands. "If I were him I'd make a run for it and find somewhere to hide. A good place to hide. And stay there until the fuss dies down."
"He's not up to running Jack," snapped Harry. "He's badly done up, he got kidnapped, although I'm sure you already know about that." Jack laughed. "It wasn't funny!"
"I'm not laughing at that, I'm laughing at you. You haven't changed a bit," chuckled Captain Jack. "You're still the uptight Brit."
"And you're still the happy-go-lucky Yank," muttered Harry. "Dougie's life is at stake here and all you can do is crack jokes."
"Hey, come on, I warned you didn't I? Besides, that lizard boy of yours, he's kinda cute."
"Back off Jack," growled Harry and Jack threw his hands up in acknowledgement. Enough was enough, he knew better than to cross the line with Harry.
"Ok fine. But like I said, get him to find some quiet spot in the middle of nowhere and tell him to stay there, got that?"
"I'll do that but he won't go without a fight."
"Does he have problems with authority like you?" Harry glared as Jack roared with laughter. "Hey relax, I was just kidding!"
"He doesn't like hiding."
"Strange for someone with chameleon powers. I'd have thought he'd be used to hiding."
"He's not a coward Jack."
"I never said he was. Look I gotta be going, but er, you tell Dougie, the Doctor sends his regards." Harry nodded and Captain Jack's face vanished. Harry sighed and looked up and Dougie was stood in the doorway clutching Rasmus.
"You heard?" Dougie nodded and continued to stroke Rasmus. "I don't like this Dougie. But, and it kills me to say this, I think Jack's right. I think you should go into hiding."
"No!" hissed Dougie.
"But they'll kill you Doug!"
"Let them try."
"You're not strong enough to face them. And neither are the rest of us. We'd fight to the death for you Dougie but..."
"But what?" snapped Dougie. "Would you spend the rest of your life in hiding? Would you spend the rest of your life in some smelly hole just to stop some gangsters trying to wipe out the only thing that stands between them and taking over their part of the galaxy?" He patted Rasmus. "I'm staying where I am."
"I don't want you to die!" blurted out Harry. "And you will if you stay. Please Dougie. Just for a little while. And it's not like you're fit for missions anyway. Go away for a little while, I have some associates in America that can put you up and keep you protected. You can use that time to rest and recover and slowly start training your body up again. Just for a year."
"A year?" screeched Dougie.
"That's nothing Dougie, trust me. I've spent longer in hiding," replied Harry, shortly. "Ask Tom, he'll tell you."
"Why ask Tom? Why don't you tell me?" Harry swallowed and looked down at his hands. They were scarred and rough. He traced the little marks on them, inflicted over the years by various traumas.
"You really wanna know?" Dougie nodded. "Fine, I'll tell you." He pulled a chair up and Dougie sat down on a beanbag, with a blanket wrapped around himself. Rasmus purred softly and Harry began.
