Can you believe it’s been two decades since Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd joined forces to become pop group McFly?
From dominating the charts with their No1 debut single 5 Colours In Her Hair to creating a supergroup with close pals Busted, the quartet have had their fair share of highs.
In 2016, they began a three-year hiatus before smoothly picking up where they left off. Now, the lads show no signs of slowing down, despite three of them juggling young families with fame, and this summer they’re busier than ever with new album, Power To Play and an upcoming UK and Ireland tour.
When new chats with the boys following their live gig at Pizza Express in Soho, who they’ve teamed up with for its Summer Sessions campaign, they’re at their effervescent best. Here, they share the secrets to their success, open up about mental health struggles and discuss what the future holds – a McFly Juniors band, anyone?
Hello! Congratulations on 20 years of McFly. Did you ever imagine you’d still be going after all this time?
Danny: Yeah, I think we did know we’d still be going strong after 20 years – we love it.
Harry: There was this feeling early on that everything felt, almost, like fate. It’s not always been easy, but it’s never felt even close to being hard enough not to do it.
Dougie: And now our fans from years ago have begun to spawn new fans, which is great.
Tom, Harry and Danny – are your kids fans of the band?
