"McFly mock Peter Andre and Katie Price duet
Oooh, those cheeky McFly boys! They’ve been mocking the musical offerings of poor love-split couple Peter Andre and Katie Price.
The band has been bleating out their 2006 cover of Disney’s A Whole New World in their gigs.
We caught up with the lads after his week’s show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and they were happy to taunt the pair.
‘We sang it for a laugh, it’s not part of the set,’ said singer Tom Fletcher.
‘Everyone was cracking up when Dougie pretended to introduce Katie and Peter. There’d be some shocked faces if they were our special guests!’"

"McFly are maturing but they're not there yet
IT'S hard to believe it but McFly are an established act by now, morphing from a boy band to a man band with their now heavily-tattooed selves and the imminent release of fifth studio album Above The Noise.
The London foursome's appearance at an oestrogen-filled Colston Hall was part of the Before The Noise tour. The show began with a black curtain falling and the band immediately playing the first single off the new album, Party Girl, mixing some electronica into their more usual rock sound.
Other new songs were sprinkled throughout the set. There was the country style of I Need A Woman, featuring a bass rift very similar to My Girl by The Temptations. The dreary I'll Be Your Man will not be a future classic, with many of the audience in the stalls sitting down when it was played.
The last song of the night and next single, Shine A Light, was greeted much more warmly. On the new album it is performed with Taio Cruz, and McFly were obviously taken with the R&B balladeer, covering his song Dynamite last night.
While their fans appreciated the need to showcase the new songs, the best receptions of the night came for the classics. Five Colours In Her Hair was given a funky makeover, while Song For The Radio, Star Girl and All About You are three examples of their ability to write great pop songs.
This gig felt like the emergence of a new McFly. But they are not fully there yet, and they would do very well not to completely leave their old selves behind.
