Ok ok...I know I havnt updated this page in ages so here goes!
As we have been waiting for the lads' new single word has finally come about when it is going to be released!!! 'Guilty' is a track from the boys' up and coming third album and will be released on October 20th. The track was written by Duncan with the help of a production team called True North. Its a 'heartful ballad' with 'lush strings and soaring harmonies' that is soft and mellow yet still unmistakably 'Blue'. The single will be on radio stations from September 15th so dont forget to tune in your radios!!
The video will be on TV from this Friday (2moz!) so yay!!!!!! The video for the single was shot in Prague with acclaimed director Howard Greenall. The boys wanted to make a video for a love song which was a bit different from the normal video you might expect to see. One part of the video features the boys caught in a crowd of over 200 extras getting pushed about and caught up in chaos. Another part shows Ant running through Fire and Duncan getting soaked by gallons of water flying through the air. Make sure you don't miss the exclusive on The Saturday Show on the 13th September.
Another quick thing...Duncan's mum has written an autobiography. It includes Dunc's childhood, his rise to fame and the hidden pressures on his family. The hardback book will be available from October 17th priced at �14.99. To order a copy simply quote this ISBN number to your local bookstore: ISBN 1843570920

I recieved an email the other day from OfficialBlue.com with a massive load of news on the lads... So I thought Id put it on here so you could read it!
The finishing touches are currently being made to the third album. As with the last album the boys have contributed massively to the song writing. They have been collaborating with lots of new producers (and a few old friends too) to give you the Blue sound you love with a funky fresh edge. We are expecting it to be released at the very beginning of November and from what we have heard so far it's going to be brilliant. The photoshoot for the album has been done in LA (on a paramount film set) so expect some wicked pics of the fab four to start surfacing very soon.
The first single to be taken from the album is due for release in the middle of October. It will be released on cd, cassette, and dvd (which will have on it clips of the forthcoming longform dvd and video - more details down below). The single has undergone it's final mix and the boys are in Prague at the moment shooting the video. You should be able to see this brand new video on music television in about 4-5 weeks time and that's also when you'll start hearing the track on the radio. The first actual TV performance by the boys will be on CDUK on 27th Sept.
With the new single and album coming expect to see the boys everywhere. They are going to be all over your favourite magazines and TV shows and there will be lots of opportunities to win the chance to meet them and see them perform - so keep your eyes peeled.
Rehearsals for the tour begin in October and the boys are planning the show now. They want to make sure this tour is even bigger and better than the last so make sure you get your mits on some tix NOW.
The tour will be filmed again this year but the bad news is you won't be able to buy it on dvd or video until next year. HOWEVER.......there will be a brand new dvd and video in the shops for Christmas. This is going to be a combination of filming from a small intimate performance the boys are doing next month along with masses of fly on the wall footage of the last year - not to mention some excusive interviews plus much, much more.
In the meantime, next week Ant & Lee will be off in Amsterdam and France to do international press interviews, whilst Duncan and Simon will be jetting off to Germany. There's time for a couple of gigs back in the UK before they are off to Japan, Taiwan and Singapore in early September. Then it's France, Italy, Spain and Holland (all in the same week!!!!) before they land back in Britain to spend some time in the UK.
22nd August
Well today I have news on Blue's nu single. Its called 'Guilty' and the new vid for it has just been finished. The video was shot in Prague over the past couple of days and it features a helicopter. Despite rumours of Mr. Sexy aka Orlando Bloom (hehe) being in the vid he unfortunately isnt. Oh well... the lads are fit enough for us to drool over! The shoot is said to have gone very well although at one point it was raining for a large part of the day! Keep an eye out for the vid coming to a TV screen near you soon! You might have heard about Lee's slip up at the airport. It was reported that Lee yelled 'F**k you..' to an departure gate assistant. Not to be having a go at Lee (cos I love him just as much as you lot!) but maybe someone should tell him to calm down a bit. He has already earned himself the er.. prestigious (not) title of 'The Biggest Plonker In Pop!' with his controversial statements about 9/11, him wanting to make love to an alien and his tip to 'wee the bed' to warm it up?! The lad is of course living his dream but somethings telling me that he might just be getting a tad carried away with fame. I dunno... woteva he does he will look sexy..is that all that matters? What dya reckon? Email me with your opinions with the subject title 'My opinion on Lee!' and I'll post em on a special page!
More news soon!

Well well well.... Tut tut Lee! As you may well know our Lee was arrested a couple of days ago for drink driving (allegedly he was twice over the legal limit! Eeek..) He was rushing to meet yet another (v.lucky I might add) girl...who's name the lad couldn't remember! Our Lee is not having much luck is he? He crashed his �60,000 Porsche before he even took his driving test, he badly hurt himself earlier this year (or wos it last year?!) in that go-karting accident. Maybe he should stay inside for a while and watch 'Enders on the box. Or maybe not... he is 20 after all and only doing what normal 20 year olds do..apart from the being well famous in one of the best bands-ever!
On a brighter note all the lads have returned from L.A. The photoshoot for the new alb and single is said to have gone amazingly. There was a slight hiccup at customs though... not for the lads-for their clothes! Yep.. the clothes were stopped at customs over in L.A. But eventually they got em back so the photshoot could go ahead-wahey!
Thats all the news I have on the lads for now...more soon!
9th August
The lads have flown to L.A. for a photoshoot for their new album and single! News is that the lads have a new look that will please us lot! Wahey! In about 10 days the lads are flying to Prague to shoot the new video for their new single (double wahey!!!!) which is scheduled to be released in November. The album should be out pretty soon after it! Apart from that there aint much goss on the lads cos for the past month or so they've been recording tracks for the album!
More news soon!
