If you wanted to get Tom Fletcher’s thought on McFly, you might be out of luck.

The boys are currently on a bit of a hiatus for a year as they tackle various solo endavours.

Dougie Poynter has joined another band, INK, while Harry Judd has reinvented himself as a fitness guru, Danny Jones is a coach on The Voice Kids and will keep up with his work as a songwriter and producer.

Tom has been writing novels and is looking to produce a musical based on his Christmasaurus children’s’ book.

They’re all pretty busy guys!

And it appeared earlier today Tom was keen to not talk about Mcfly for the time being.



The father took to Twitter on Thursday and said: ‘Tom is currently out of the office. For all McFly/album 6 related questions please contact @itsDannyJones @DougiePoynter @mcflyharry.’

Hmm, his thoughts have been made rather clear.

The singer had earlier been answering fans’ questions about the future of the band late on Wednesday night, as he said he didn’t want to define their break as a ‘hiatus’ as he confirmed they hadn’t split – but that they wouldn’t release music just because the fans were asking for it.

‘We won’t release anything to keep anyone at bay. We’ll release something when we’re ready & right now we’re not,’ he said. ‘We don’t have any plans to write/record/perform together as McFly at the moment, we’ve not split up & are all happy & supportive of each other doing different things.’

Fair enough!

He added: ‘I don’t think any of us wanted to define it as a hiatus. It wasn’t planned, just sort of happened for one reason or another.

‘Sorry if it’s not been clear but there’s nothing happening right now and we’re all working separately on different things. Not split up.’

After he then deflected all future questions to his bandmates, fans weren’t too happy, as they seemed to feel he was shunning the chat.

‘I’m disappointed at you tom,’ one said. ‘I mean, the people who buy your books and watch your videos are mcfly fans fyi. So you are able to do your stuff thanks to the fans, so it’s so sad and you are so disrespectful to us.’

However many others could see where the performer was coming from, as they got in his corner.

‘I hate this why can’t people leave the boys alone they have more important things like family to think of and doing things that make them all happy,’ one said. ‘I will support them with whatever they all decide to do. I just personally think family and happiness is more important.’

Another said: ‘Do what you guys wanna do and what makes you happy. when you’re all ready to return to mcfly it’ll feel right. I’d rather wait for a record you all WANT to do than one you feel you HAVE to do.’

We’ll chalk this one up to late night banter gone rogue.
