DANNY JONES
As one of the lead vocalists and guitarists in the hit boy band McFly, Danny Jones has enjoyed seven number one singles and holds the record for the youngest band ever to top the pop album chart twice.
Along with his fellow band members Tom Fletcher (lead vocals–guitar), Dougie Poynter (vocals–bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums), Danny first achieved pop fame in 2004 when fellow pop band Busted invited them to join them on the UK tour.
Their debut album, Room on the 3rd Floor, debuted at number 1 in the UK pop album chart and led to the band becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album debut at number 1 – a title they stole from The Beatles. Their second album, Wonderland, also charted at number 1 when it was released in 2005.
Since then, McFly have had sixteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number 1 and fifteen of which were consecutive top ten singles.
Still only 23 years-old, Danny is the youngest male in the TV opera competition and is sure to have the support of McFly's loyal fanbase, but will his arias have McFly fans voting in their thousands?
What does Danny think about opera?
"In this show, you're really learning something. It's very exciting. We don't just sit in the jungle eating kangaroo's private parts. This requires talent!"
"I forget the words to my own songs, never mind arias in a foreign language! If I do get lost, I'll just make it up and have a laugh! What's more daunting is that I've got to learn each aria in just a week. That's scary!"
"I think it could introduce opera to a whole new audience. I'm hoping to make opera cool!"
