About Tom Fletcher in brief
Thomas Fletcher is one of the lead vocalists and rhythm guitarist of English pop rock band McFly. He is credited as having written songs for One Direction, Busted, the Vamps and 5 Seconds of Summer. Fletcher has written ten UK number one singles and twenty-one top ten singles. McFly rose to fame after Busted helped launch them by inviting them to be the opening act on their tour in March 2004. In 2004, McFly made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, beating the Beatles’s record for the youngest band to have a debut album go straight to number one. As well as being founding member of McFly, Fletcher plays rhythm guitar, shares lead vocals with Danny Jones, and sometimes undertakes the role of ukulele player or pianist. Fletcher is also a YouTube vlogger and has his own music channel, The Thomas Fletcher Show. He has a younger sister, Carrie Hope Fletcher, who is a musical theatre actress. Fletcher attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London, where, at age 13, he met Giovanna Falcone, whom he would later marry in 2012. When he was 10, Fletcher starred as the main role in Oliver! at the London Palladium alongside Jim Dale as Fagin.
He then went on to do a documentary about HIV for schools and starred in a commercial. In 1995, Fletcher made a small appearance in the video to the Mike + The Mechanics song \”Over My Shoulder\”. He was schoolmates with Busted bassist Matt Willis. He originally auditioned and was accepted into the band Busted before losing out on the place to Charlie Simpson after the record label Island decided the band should be a trio rather than a four-piece. Fletcher then got to know Busted band member James Bourne, which would then lead to a strong song writing relationship between the two. Fletcher was impressed with Jones’s style, and invited him to write with him and Bourne. When writing projects for Busted had come to an end, the two began collaborating for their own band, and, eventually, moved into the InterContinental Hotel in London for two months to concentrate on writing together. During this time together Fletcher and Jones wrote most of their first album, Room on the 3rd Floor. As of 15 November 2010, Mc fly have released five studio albums and two compilation albums.
