"Dougie Poynter is having 'a bitchin' time' on the McFly tour
Dougie is out of rehab and telling everyone how good it feels to be back with his boys.
It was touch and go whether Dougie Poynter would make the McFly tour, but fresh from rehab, the star is loving every minute of being on the road.
He Tweeted: “Sheffield. You guys knocked the crap outta me! Truly awesome. Manchester MEN bring it on Morpheus style.”
The next night Dougie praised Manchester fans, writing: “Last night was awesome. Machester blew my face off.”
He added: “Brighton was hella sweet last night. Cardiff shall be bitchin times also!”
Dougie checked into the Priory earlier this month when he was reportedly struggling to cope with his break-up from Saturday’s star Frankie Sandford.
Last week, he was feeling well enough to return home and told concerned fans: “Got home last night and read all your messages. Thanks for all your support, really means allot x”
Dougie headed straight into rehearsals and was ready to perform on the first night of the McFly tour, which kicked off on Friday."

"McFlying into Bournemouth
“I’M planning on running naked throughout the whole of Bournemouth just so I can fit in seeing everything that’s there. I’m also really looking forward to going to a typical Bournemouth pub and somewhere with great food,” exclaims Dougie Poynter from McFly.
Returning to Bournemouth on Wednesday for their headline tour, the chart-topping boy band seem giddily excited, if not a bit crazy about seeing the town. Since 2002, the boys have sold an estimated eight million records worldwide and are proud owners of a Brit Award.
It’s safe to say Mcfly have pleased most fans around the globe, with Dougie’s favourite place being “Erm, somewhere I can’t remember in Sydney, but yeah that was my favourite place, oh and the Rock in Rio gig we did in Lisbon last year.”
Wednesday’s Bournemouth show will be part of their first tour after a two-year break from the road.
Fans might get more than they expected, as Dougie revealed that “on tour supporters can expect to see nudity and fire as well as us being able to play better than we ever have before.”
McFly have also recently launched Supercity their interactive website with bells and whistles on.
“Fans love Supercity, it’s a chance for them to feel much closer to us and we make sure we go out and meet fans before each gig. Our fans have also been able to help us decide on the set lists.”
While Poynter, 23, seemed upbeat, there has been a backlash regarding their new electro, Gaga-esque sound.
“Some fans are not into it and played live, our new stuff sounds a lot heavier but I think it still fits in with all of our old tracks and when they hear it live they will see. My favourite track from the new album Above The Noise is ‘Nowhere Left To Run and I’m really looking forward to playing it live on tour.”
At the end of 2010, McFly teamed up with UK producer and artist Taio Cruz for Shine A Light, which seemed at the time an unexpected musical collaboration.
“Taio was a sweet guy, really quiet and shy but great to work with” and Dougie agreed that it was an unusual combination but one that seemed to work.
“In the future, I’d love to collaborate with a female artist. I think that would be good as we haven’t ever done it before.”
Though McFly are experienced performers, they still remain looking like typical boys next door – albeit with a bit more stubble than when they first hit the charts.
“We don’t have a stylist as such as we like to wear our own clothes on tour, so we have help with the shopping and then we just wear what we like.”
But it’s not all a bed of roses being in a successful boy band. After speaking to Dougie, the musician checked into rehab due to his split with girl-band member Frankie Sandford from The Saturdays. Last week, the band announced to fans that Dougie would be back and fighting fit for the tour.

"Rocking above the noise
With a new sound, and the world’s first-ever Super City, McFly return to Aberdeen tomorrow night, writes Colene McKessick
ALTHOUGH they were seen initially as a boy band with the usual expiry date, four-piece McFly have proved critics wrong by entering their eighth year as a band, recently releasing their sixth album, Above the Noise.
Just as the charts and music industry have evolved since 2003, the band have tried to grow and develop, too. Those with tickets to their Above the Noise tour date in Aberdeen tomorrow night will notice a distinct change in style from the band’s preppy-pop debut, Five Colours in Her Hair.
In the age of downloads and social networking, the band have become the first to have a multifunctional “hub” – the Super City. No ordinary fan website, Super City allows fans to chat to members of the band on specially streamed web chats, hear unreleased material and demos, watch behind-the-scenes videos, and even download albums and buy concert tickets before they are released to the public.
So, seeing as they’ve aimed high with their latest album and website, lead singer Tom Fletcher said that the tour would be a new adventure for the group.
“It is a huge show,” said Tom, 25.
“Normally what happens is that we come up with a big wish list of what we want to do on the tour, and then we send that through to our production designer and he tells us what is physically impossible, or what’s going to cost stupid amounts of money, and then we narrow it down.
“But I think this is the first time that we put the list in and we’re able to do all of the things we wanted to do, so I think it’s going to be one of the biggest shows we’ve put on.
“We like creating moments in the show that stand out, so people go away saying: ‘Remember when they did this?’ So we have a few things like that up our sleeves for this tour.
“I remember going to arenas to see bands play when I was young, so we want to create an amazing night of entertainment for the people who come and see us.”
With Above the Noise being a completely new direction for the band, who had hits with previous songs All About You and Star Girl, Tom admits releasing the new sound to existing and new fans was daunting.
“It was scary, but we were so pleased with the reaction we got, especially with the reaction we got to Shine a Light, it was incredible, it’s been our most successful single ever,” he said.
“The record was an experiment; we weren’t 100% sure how people would react. Obviously, we’re extremely proud of it, but you are never sure with any album how people will react.
“Releasing albums is the hardest bit of the job, and the tour is the reward at the end, so I’m glad we’re at the stage where we’re on tour everywhere; that’s the most fun.
“If you had said a couple of years ago that we’d have an album like Above the Noise, I’d never have believed it, it’s a lot of collaboration and a lot of experimentation,” said Tom.
“We have a massive song called Nowhere Left To Run that as soon as we recorded we were really looking forward to doing live; it’s a huge song.
“We have a song called End of the World which samples War of the Worlds, and it’s tricky to play live. I won’t lie, me and Danny have messed it up quite a few times, but I’m looking forward to playing all the new ones.
“If I’m being honest, we love doing the old stuff, too. We’re never going to stop playing the songs that people pay money to come and hear, and we love them, too. I never really understand when bands don’t play their biggest hits, or get fed up of them. We have fun if the crowd are having fun, so we like doing All About You and Five Colours in her Hair just as much as we like doing the new stuff.”
Fans who join McFly’s Super City website, or Pioneers, as they’re known, also get other benefits on tour, such as early entry to venues and exclusive meet and greets.
"The meet and greets have gone really well,” said Tom.
“Because this is completely new territory for us, we tried it in Europe so we could see the best way of doing things, so at some venues there were 2,000 or 3,000 people and we sussed out a nice little formula for meeting everyone.”
As for the critics, Tom said the band would always have to fight to lose their boy-band label.
“I think it’s one of those things: we’re very ambitious, so we want as much recognition for that and with every album we always aim to be the biggest band in the world, so it pushes us to do the biggest things we can,” he said.
“If you aim for the stars, you might land on the moon, and that’s what we live by. It is frustrating not getting recognition, but, on the other hand, it’s hard to complain because so many other bands have half the amount of success that we’ve had, so we’re very blessed.
“But when you’re very ambitious, you’re never really happy. When you do take a step back, though, we’re extremely lucky to be in the position we’re in.”
As for the date, Tom’s looking forward to the band’s most northerly tour stop.
“We have very fond memories of playing up in Aberdeen because it has always been great,” he said.
“It’s not like there’s a distinction between the band and audience; we’re all there to have a great night.
“But I need to get Danny to work on his Scottish accent. He always says: ‘Hello Aberdeen,’ but it sounds more Glaswegian, so that won’t do.”

"Rehab appears to have done strange things to Dougie’s face
Having trotted along to rehab to get over a few emotional woes regarding his ex-girlfriend and her fondness for ugly-but-rich premiership footballers, we’d have thought Dougie McFly would look refreshed. All people do in rehab is go for picnics and drink coconut water, right?
Which doesn’t really explain why Dougie looked like a little old man shuffling out of a McFly gig yesterday. Is he happy? Is he sad? Is he confused?
Whatever he is, Dougie looks like he needs a good rogering to get some colour back into his cheeks. Volunteers? Anyone? Just us? OK!"

"McFly make a landing in Bawtry hotel

POP sensations McFly helped add star quality to a wedding in Doncaster when they were spotted at the same venue.
Band members Tom, Dougie, Danny and Harry were staying at the Crown Hotel in Bawtry with crew, manager and bouncers,.
They were in Bawtry during a stint at a nearby rehearsal studio before going on tour last Friday.
McFly’s Above the Noise Tour kicked off in Sheffield on Friday, March 18, taking them all over the country performing hits from their new album, including Shine a Light and new single That’s the Truth.
It was the second time the group has stayed at the hotel, having visited five year ago.
Katey Dent, sales manager of the Crown, said the band loved Bawtry.
She said: “It was great to see the guys from McFly return to the hotel.
"They came to us around five years ago – much younger then of course!
“We had a wedding on at the hotel the same day they were checking out and the wedding guests could not believe that McFly were there!
"They were happy to have photos with the wedding party and also sign autographs.”
McFly are on a long list of groups and musicians on the guest book at the hotel, including Boyzone, Kasabian, Peter Andre and Dizzee Rascal."

"McFly promise sex on site
McFly have joked that their fans could be treated to a sex show if they log on to their Super City website.
McFly's fans could witness a sex show if they log on to the group's website.
The British band - which is comprised of Tom Fletcher, Harry Judd, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter - have joked that fans who log on to their Super City website will be treated to the X-rated content if they accumulate enough points by interacting on the site.
Tom said: "There's a whole social networking side to Super City, like Facebook, so you can log on and update your page."
Danny added in an interview with Recognise magazine: "We can do web chats from anywhere on our laptops, it's amazing. I've done a few from my house and one from my bed.
"Fans have their own profiles and they get points if they do things like upload a picture and, with us, points win prizes. You can get private phone calls from us, emails, a sex show . No, no I'm joking! It starts from little things to big things, like a meet and greet."
Asked how many points fans would need to view the sex show, Tom said: "A million points.
"What's on the sex show? Is it us doing each other, or them?"
Danny said: "That's on the adult version of the site. Yeah, you superimpose yourself on a picture that we made so it looks like you're getting done by us."
You can read the full version of the McFly interview in the March/April edition of Recognise Magazine (www.recognisemagazine.co.uk) which is out now."

"REVIEW: McFly @ MEN Arena (sisältää spoilereita)
There were giant beach balls, a flying stage, fireworks, a bizarre but equally impressive rap, guns firing T-shirts into the crowd, and at the back of the stage, a gas-powered flaming sign that threatened to engulf the drummer.
This is what happens when you give a manufactured band creative control over their own show — but somehow, McFly pulled it off.
Yes, they were preaching to the converted — the near capacity crowd inside the MEN Arena was predominantly female and predominantly teenage, although there was a dedicated brigade of terrified dads and a good few cougars too — but the cult band, who are semi-credible these days, delivered an all-guns-blazing lesson in entertaining the masses.
McFly sing the old favourites (All About You, Five Colours In Her Hair and Obviously) as well as their latest stuff (That's The Truth, Party Girl and the Thriller-inspired End Of The World) in a strong two-hour set.
And it has to be said: these boys write very good pop songs and Tom Fletcher is at the centre of that.
He has very much adopted the Gary Barlow role.
But Danny Jones is the main man these days. Front stage centre, he’s the Robbie Williams of the band.
Heavily tattooed, with all the swagger and confidence of a bona fide rock star, the Bromley Cross lad even ditched his guitar midway through the show, donned a pair of shades, and ripped into an adrenaline-fuelled cover of Tinie Tempah’s Pass Out.
That a band like McFly can get away with this shows how far they’ve come.
They have broken away from those contrived beginnings and now are firmly in control of their own musical destiny.
The encore is brilliantly nostalgic.
One For The Radio is anthemic. In fact, it is McFly’s anthem, neatly summing up their refreshing philosophy on musical snobbery.
Then the rather lovely ballad, The Heart Never Lies, rounds off the show.
All done? Nope. This is McFly.
A second encore is demanded, deserved and delivered.
They belt out the infectious Shine a Light, and everyone, dads included, goes home happy."

"McFly - Live @ Manchester M.E.N Arena 19/03/2011 (sisältää spoilereita)
When McFly burst into the pop world way back in 2004, those of you that weren't fourteen year old girls cynically predicted their life cycle through the boy band factory and assumed they would be spat out into the incinerator at the not so distant end.
Seven years later, and it seems they're just about surviving. With a bass player straight out of rehab, poor album sales and a dodgy R 'n'B makeover, the foursome are frantically trying to claw their way out of that hole they dug for themselves with the release of fifth studio album 'Above The Noise' late last year.
But while many may assume that the future of McFly is hanging in the balance, Manchester's 10,000 strong crowd will tell you a very different story.
From the moment the house lights dimmed, it was obvious that the foursome are very much back on form. The impressive set list spanned over twenty songs and featured fan favourites from all five albums, kicking off with comeback single 'Party Girl'. The group took the chance to strip the synths away from their most recent release and remind everyone that, underneath it all, they're still the same pop band they always were.
The night's unexpected highlight came from a bizarrely innovative cover of Tinie Tempah 's 2010 smash hit 'Pass Out'. Bolton front man Danny Jones was on mockney vocal duty, ditching his guitar and donning sunglasses to suitably grime up for his performance.
Two encore's rounded the show off on an emotional high with a sing-a-long spectacular of 'Shine A Light' and a promise that yes Manchester, they will be back again. Even better next time. Lets hope they stick to their word.
They may have made a grave error in trying to compete with the JLS's of the world, but performing live is their forte, and this show proved that McFly still deserve their place on the stage."
Huddersfield Examiner

"Preview: McFly, Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle
MCFLY have been in the news of late for perhaps the wrong reasons. But, as Entertainment Editor Gordon Barr finds out, all is back on track and they’re gearing up for their Newcastle gig.
IT’S been a traumatic few weeks for the McFly lads but it looks like they’ll be putting their troubles behind them when they arrive in Newcastle later this month.
Certainly, last time they were here, back in January for Press interviews at the Metro Radio Arena, where they perform on March 27, there was no sign of any upset, especially from bassist Dougie Poynter.
It’s since been well documented that Dougie has since spent time in rehab after receiving treatment for depression. He checked out just days ago and the band are now all-go for their UK tour.
The Essex native, 23, was distraught when The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford, 22, ditched him in November and within weeks was photographed with new footballer boyfriend Wayne Bridge. Intense Press coverage finally took its toll, but Dougie has been Twittering he is now on the road to recovery.
The tour follows on from the release of their latest album Above The Noise and their ground-breaking Super City website.
Two years in the making, the website provides worldwide fans with unrivalled access to the band; it has citizens rather than visitors where fans can subscribe to access further content including albums, demos and webchats.
It means those subscribed will be getting all the latest news from the band – Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie – when they play Newcastle.
All the old hits will be performed on the night, as well as tracks from the latest album, on which they worked with acclaimed producer Dallas Austin.
“We decided it was about time to do something different and a bit challenging,” explains Tom.
Danny adds: “It was amazing to work with Dallas, because of the amazing career he has had.
“We went out to Atlanta for a few weeks, then he came to London – he was like a fifth member of the band.
“He was a really cool dude and got our vision and where he wanted to take it.
“It was a great time.”
Tom interjects: “It’s really hard to explain the change in direction as stylistically it is still very much McFly but in sound terms it is much more pop.
“We just really wanted to experiment, and that is good for the band.”
McFly were signed to Island Records from 2004 to 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records.
They rose to fame after fellow pop band Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in 2004.
The band’s name originates from Marty McFly, the protagonist of the Back to the Future film trilogy and to date the lads have sold an estimated eight million records worldwide and have also won a Brit Award.
“It’s just good to be going out on the road again,” says Harry.
“Getting out there and meeting the fans. We have close contact with the fans thanks to the website and we keep them posted on all we do.
“But nothing beats getting up on that stage and performing in the flesh for them.
“Newcastle always proves to be a memorable show too.”

Tässä muutama artikkeli lähipäiviltä..
"DOUGIE'S FIRST POST-REHAB INTERVIEW
COURAGEOUS McFLY star DOUGIE POYNTER has made a triumphant return to boy band life after his shock stint in rehab.

The showbiz world was stunned when I revealed the heartbreaking story that Dougie had entered the Priory earlier this month after struggling to cope with his split from THE SATURDAYS singer FRANKIE SANDFORD.
But on Friday night, before taking to the stage in Sheffield for the delayed launch of the band's national arena tour, Dougie sat down with me for an XSclusive interview about how rehab has improved him.
"It's one of the best things I've ever done in my whole life," he revealed. "I'm still me but it's definitely been very positive."
"I don't know how I've changed. I try not to really think too much about it." And then he burst into a smile and joked: "My hair's gone a bit ma-hoo-sive!" Dougie booked himself into rehab after Frankie started a new relationship with England footballer WAYNE BRIDGE, which knocked him for six.
And since I revealed his plight, she has been subjected to death threats.
Dougie has, sensibly, decided not to mention Frankie anymore, but responding to the threats on her life he said: "It's out of my control really."
But he added: "I think anyone receiving death threats is not a good thing.
I don't support anything like that. I don't wish any bad things upon anybody."
Dougie looks so much happier than the last time I saw him - and he's over the moon to be back with his bandmate "brothers".
But, being McFly, he said that hasn't stopped the teasing! "It's all been a bit strange," Dougie told me. "I cam out and went straight on tour. The only people I've seen have been my mum, my nan and these guys."
"But on the internet everyone's been cool. That feedback has been awesome. I was expecting these guys to have matured a little bit.
"I thought they might have grown up and changed their hair. But no. It was exactly the same."
And then the bassist cheekily added: "I was working on my solo project when I was in rehab. It's just bass!"
Dougie's bandmates reflected on how Dougie's changed. HARRY JUDD said: "He's become quite the philosopher." And TOM FLETCHER added: "Bizzarely he's come out better at maths."
The band went to pick Dougie up from rehab and Tom said: "When he came out I told him he looked like TOM HANKS in Castaway with long hair and a beard."
But Harry then turned serious to explain: "We've grown up together. We've all been through ups and downs. I've been through some real lows but we're always there for each other."
For now, Dougie's only problem is remembering how to play the band's old hits. "I'm messing up Obviously, even though I've been playing it for eight years!" he said."

"McFly have much better bodies than us," he said.
Adding: "If it was for a good cause we’d strip again. But McFly take the trophy. We can’t compete with them. --"

Dougie on virallisesti palannut! & Recognise magazine

Dougie poistui eilen The Priorysta. Hän myös twiittasi tänään ensimmäistä kertaa pitkään aikaan, sanoen, että meidän kannustuksemme merkitsee hänelle paljon. Sitä seurasi erittäin dougiemainen tweet: "Now can we get back to tweeting about boobs, dicks and farts?". Hän todellakin on palannut! The Sun kirjoitti aiheesta mielenkiintoisen artikkelin:

"'Stay away from my son, Frankie'
TROUBLED DOUGIE POYNTER's mum has hit out at ex FRANKIE SANDFORD for breaking his heart.
And she says the split has left him like a "lost and like a little boy."
The McFly star checked into rehab in February, three months after the break up, because he was still struggling to cope.
And mum SAM MOODY told Star magazine: "He was broken-hearted - really down. It was a kick in the teeth, but what do you do?
"I can't wave my magic wand and make it better. I hated seeing him so upset - maybe it's because she was his first love."
She admitted that the family had long been wary of the Saturdays singer, because "she's done it before".
And she described her visit to rehab to see her son.
She said: "He looked lost and like a little boy, because he's usually with the other three boys, and suddenly he's there on his own.
"He was excited about seeing me and it reminded me of when he was about 12. I had a cry, but he's doing really well and was laughing and joking."
She also revealed that he didn't open up about Frankie's new relationship, with footballer WAYNE BRIDGE, until he was in rehab.
She said: "It's devastating. It's horrible. But obviously he knew that she would move on."
And she ruled out any future friendship between the two stars, who dated for two years until the November split.
She added: "That's the worst thing he could ever do. I think he's been advised in rehab that he doesn't have to be rude, but he doesn't have to be her friend."
"He was worried about how to deal with it, because they're doing a concert together at Alton Towers later this year and it'll probably be the first time he'll see her."
And she had a clear message for her boy's ex.
"Leave my son alone. That's all I've got to say to her. I don't care what she does or who she does it with, just let Dougie get on with his life - you don't want to be part of it, so leave him alone.
"Let him get better, get over you, and go out and find that incredible woman he deserves."
