McFly to expose their lives in the first official band autobiography

Fans of McFly are used to the band members exposing their bodies in various saucy photographs, but now it seems the band are going deeper than image with a book about the band’s ten years in the limelight.

In what publishers promise to be a frank, funny and original insight into the lives of one of the UK’s best-loved bands, readers will get to know the men behind McFly, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd, in a way they never thought they would.

The timing couldn’t be better with band member Dougie Poynter winning last years’ I’m A Celebrity reality series and Harry Judd crowed Strictly Come Dancing champion 2011.

The official publication will chart the teen-band’s early days sharing a house in Finchley to becoming the youngest band ever to have a debut album reach the number one spot, this book will give the inside track on their meteoric rise. It will include surprising tales of growing up in the limelight and the euphoric highs and desperate lows along the way.

This book will no dobut be essential reading for McFly fans everywhere but, more than that, it will shine a light on what it takes to make it to the top and stay there for nearly a decade, all told in their unique and inimitable style. McFly have had eighteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.

Transworld Publishers announced at the weekend that they have bought the world rights for the first official book by McFly and they aim to have it published by the autumn of this year.

Michelle Signore, Editorial Director at Transworld Publishers, says: “I am absolutely thrilled that Dougie, Harry, Danny and Tom have chosen to publish their book with Transworld this autumn. After nearly a decade together, the time feels right for McFly to tell their story and it promises to be candid, fun – and surprising!’

As yet a title for the publication has yet to be decided.
