Shocking McFly split rumours

According to The Sun, McFly are reportedly close to a split, with Danny Jones said to want time off to write solo material.

Tell me it's not true. According to The Sun, the lovely, lovely McFly are on the verge of breaking up. It's with a heavy heart that I report that the band and their management are allegedly in talks over McFly's future, seemingly because co-frontman Danny Jones has put a spanner in the works by saying he wants to take off the summer to spend his time writing solo material.

The tabloid claims via an 'insider' that Jones has increasingly itchy feet, quoting the source as saying: "Danny is not happy with how the band has been performing since the first album. Sales for the second album, 'Wonderland', were not good and their latest single, 'Ultraviolet', only just scraped into the Top Ten. Losing out on a Brit nomination was the last straw for Danny."

At the risk of sounding like an obsessive fan, they cannot and they must not. Well, not yet anyway. It's far, far too soon.
