McFly 'planning to leave record label'

McFly have decided that they want to leave their record label, according to a report.

Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd are in Australia recording the last album that they are expected to release under their current deal with Island Records.

The lads are said to be "tired of being a boy band" and wish to find a label which will give them the freedom to change their image.

A source told The Sun: "The boys feel they have outgrown the company. Label chiefs have plans for them they disagree with. They are tired of being a boy band.

"They want to be recognised for their songwriting and being more than just a teen act. The time in Australia has given them a chance to put together their battle plan. They are all really excited about the idea of being free to make their own decisions about their future."
