McFly esiintyi eilen Heathrow'lla, ja se oli ensimmäinen konsertti Heathrow'lla ikinä. Se tuli eilen livenä Super Citystä, ja voit katsoa sen uudestaan bändin webchat-huoneesta, jos olet pioneer.
"Dougie is looking awfully McFly - for a laydee
He's clearly been rummaging in the drawers of girlfriend Frankie Sandford, from the Saturdays.
And while turning out as an air hostess might not be manly, the stunt - for the first ever live gig at Heathrow airport - went down a treat. Even if Dougie did forget to shave his legs."

McFLY: ABOVE THE NOISE
ISLAND RECORDS, £13.99 ***
TWO years in the making, this fifth album from McFly is being pitched as the one which will reintroduce them as a pop band of a more grown-up variety.
Paying homage to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds during the opening End of the World is perhaps unexpected, but the song's otherwise smooth Minneapolis funk sheen sets the listener up well for the even more Prince-like (right down to the title) If U C Kate, the quasi-trance rhythms of Nowhere Left to Run, I Need a Woman's flatpack gospel and the MOR R&B balladry of the Taio Cruz-featuring Shine a Light.
Undoubtedly their best studio effort yet, but still aimed squarely at those who like their pop glossy and unchallenging."

"McFly stars Dougie and Harry meet their Marlborough fans
Pop fans turned out in their droves in Marlborough on Monday to meet Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter from McFly.
The duo made a personal appearance at record shop, Sound Knowledge, to promote the band's new album, Above the Noise.
One of the first people to meet Harry and Dougie was Edward Scopia, 11, and his family from Devizes.
And Edward even managed to get a pair of drumsticks from Harry.
"I've got thousands of posters on my wall," Edward said excitedly.
"I'll use the drum sticks I got given. I'm very happy."
20-year-old Julie Soyer - who has already met the quartet five times - travelled from Portsmouth to get her album signed.
"They are my favourite band," she said.
"All my friends like them. I am a hardcore fan. I'm a big, big, big fan! I have been for seven years."
And Dougie and Harry told the waiting media how important it was to meet their supporters.
"I'm very happy to be here in Marlborough," Dougie said.
"It's really important to do signings like this," continued Harry.
"We are so conscious of always staying in contact with our fans. It's great to come and see them and stay in touch with them all.
"Hopefully we'll be doing this forever."
In the past, Irish rockers Ash and London acoustic duo Turin Brakes have met fans at Sound Knowledge in Marlborough.
However, shop manager Roger Mortimer said that McFly were "probably the biggest band we'll ever have had through the door"."

"McFly fever hits Marlborough as fans swamp store
McFly fever hit Marlborough last night with hundreds of the boy band’s fans queuing along the High Street and leaving two of the band with writer’s cramp after autographing countless copies of their new CD.
Yesterday was launch day for the band’s new album Above the Noise and word had got around over a wide area that two of the band, drummer Harry Judd and bass player/backing singer Dougie Poynter were going to be signing copies at Sound Knowledge music shop in Marlborough.
Shop owner Roger Mortimer said : “We had about 500 pre-book but a lot more have turned up as well.”
The McFly fans patiently queued and although they were three and four deep the line stretched from the shop door in Hughenden Yard back to the High Street and then along as far as the Royal Oak pub.
Harry Judd’s comment when told it was probably the longest queue seen in the town in living memory was: “That’s fantastic,” and he still had a cheery smile and time for a brief chat with each of the hundreds of fans as they handed over copies of the new album to be autographed.
The first fan they greeted was 11-year-old Edward Scipio from Owen Close in Devizes who suffers from cerebral palsy and who was pushed in his wheelchair by his mother who said: “He is a big McFly fan...you ought to see his bedroom, he has posters and their albums all over the room.”
Next in line was Robert Dobie, 17, from Marlborough who had his favourite McFly tracks played to him as he lay in a coma at Bristol Children’s Hospital over Christmas and New Year two years ago when severe food poisoning left him fighting for his life and, doctors told his parents Bob and Michelle, he actually died twice.
After meeting Roberts Harry Judd and hearing that the McFly records may have helped his recovery Harry Poynter said: “That is a really touching story and we are delighted if we helped in any way.”
Robert was invited to see McFly in action next year at the NEC in Birmingham.
Charlie Hogben who will be eight on Sunday and lives at Tidworth is a big McFly fan like his mum and dad, Alison and Darren, and he took along his toy guitar for the band members to sign. His father said: “We have seen McFly a couple of times and Charlie is as big a fan as we are.”
The Bushnell family from Fyfield was out in force with mother Helen and daughters Abbie, six, who goes to Kennet Valley School and Samantha, 13, who is at St John’s in Marlborough. Samantha said: “I like them because thy are good singers.” Abbie said: “I love them,” and their mother agreed that she was a fan, too.
Some of the queuing fans came from as far away as Hertfordshire and Oxford and one girl who was making a round trip of more than 200 miles by train and bus just to get her copy of Beyond the Noise signed said: “I would have travelled twice as far if I’d had to."
