11 MQs from a gorgeous photoshoot by Nando Rivero for his photography company, Neoprekss, have been added to the gallery:
The photoshoot took place while McFly were in Madrid for the MySpace Session gig on December 2nd. From EXIF data, the photos are said to have been taken on December 1st, but other fansites state that they were taken on the 2nd, so if anyone knows the true date, do clarify it for me!
noneHere’s a short article on McFly’s upcoming album, which should be released in Spring next year:
noneMcFly’s New Album “Will Blow You Away”
McFly’s Tom Fletcher has claimed the band’s next album “will blow you away”.
The four-piece have been recording songs for the follow-up to 2008’s ‘Radio:ACTIVE’ this year, which they have previously described as going in a “new direction”.
And now Fletcher has given a new update on the album’s progress, saying: “We spent a couple of weeks in Atlanta working with Dallas Austin and his awesome friends.
“We came up with some absolute tunes. The next album is gonna blow you away. [I] Can’t believe how awesome the songs are already.” Added Tom.
“Since then we’ve been home, getting in the mood for Christmas and catching up with friends. Apart from the odd car crash, it has been an amazing month.”
McFly are expected to release the album in Spring, 2010.
Here’s a useless article featuring Dougie about this week’s hot topic – Rage Against the Machine getting the Christmas No. 1.
2 comDougie misses the Poynt with RATM campaign
Last night, ‘Killing In The Name’ by Rage Against In The Machine was confirmed as the 2009 Christmas number one, after a widely reported online campaign.
McFly’s Dougie Poynter was delighted to hear the news, tweeting “So happy Rage are number one.”
He went on to tell how he purchased the song SEVEN times from iTunes. Unfortunately, as stated on the ‘RATM For Christmas Number One’ group, you should only buy ONE copy of the song – any more will cancel out your purchase and it will not contribute towards the chart.
“THE OFFICIAL CHART COMPANY HAVE CONTACTED ME AND WOULD LIKE ME TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT ‘BULK’ PURCHASING WILL DISQUALIFY THAT ENTIRE PURCHASE YOU’VE MADE FROM THE CHART COUNT. SO PLEASE BE WARNED, WE DON’T WANT YOU TO WASTE YOUR CASH!”
Ahh well Dougie, your heart was in the right place.
Someone who did raise an interesting poynt was Matt Willis. He tweeted “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me! Apart from download a song with the sole purpose to beat the xfactor.”

THE ONE… where Tom is involved in a car-crash and McFly go Christmas-crazy
After abandoning MySpace for Twitter, Tom finally updates the blog again with a personal update. In it, he tries to fit everything McFly have been up to in the past month or more in a paragraph, resulting a jumbled and fast-paced run-through of rather crazy events!
nonefestive cheer to all!
Sorry not blogged, a lots been going on. Went to Spain for some gigs, was awesome. Dougie turned 22 in Madrid and we spent the day travelling. We then spent a couple of weeks in Atlanta working with Dallas Austin and his awesome friends. We came up with some absoloute tunes!!!!! The next album is gonna blow you away. Can’t believe how awesome the songs are already! Had a crazy time with Dallas, ended up being invited for dinner by Elton Johnat his home which was lovely.

noneAs you know, Tom, Danny and Dougie have just returned from a week spent in Atlanta, Georgia working in the studio with famous musician, songwriter and producer, Dallas Austin, and during their stay, were invited to dinner with Elton John! Here’s what Dallas himself blogged yesterday:
noneDinner w/Elton & McFly!
12.10.09
Well, I’m awake now. Wheeew, long night! I had the most amazing session last night; well, this morning, considering I went to bed at 10am. Me & the guys from MCFLYD (I added a ‘D’ because I am the newest member, D.) We have made some fuckin’ amazing music this week! It is so good to be in the studio with talented musicians as well as a group of really close friends. The spirit of creativity can only prevail at its greatest when everyone allows it, and that’s what we did!! If you haven’t seen MCFLY on YouTube, you should take a look. It’s funny.
The first night they arrived, I was supposed to go to dinner with ELTON JOHN. Well, I had to cancel because of my session with the guys but when Elton found out, he said, “Bring the guys! I would love to meet them!” Of course the guys were ecstatic, so we went to the lobster bar and come to find out, they are from the same town in England that Elton is from! We hit it off all so well that I asked Elton if we could come see his AMAZING SUPER Atlanta art collection which contains a lot of TODD MURPHY art (my friend and favorite artist which Elton owns about 50 TODD MURPHY’S). He said sure, let’s do Mexican night. So we did. My good friend Farshid invited Ed Roland and Danny from REHAB so now we have an universal click and together can experience some of the most amazing pictures and art pieces ever! The tour guide is none other than ELTON – FUCKIN AMAZING!
Here’s a few pics from our wild sessions at the studio and at Elton’s. I’m pissed now because my man, DOUGIE – yes, DOUGIE is dating a girl named FRANKIE from a group called the SATURDAY’S. She’s been out with a guy from JLS while he’s been in the A and its been in the press in the UK. I just hate to see a friend disrespected. Other than that, short of DANNY setting his pubes on fire or THOMAS stealing one of my shoes, you guys have the story of how I became “MCFLYD” Look out for this album!
