S Club 7’s official website reworked to remove ‘7’ after Paul Cattermole’s death and shock band exit
S CLUB 7’s official website has been reworked to remove ‘7’ following Paul Cattermole’s death.
It comes after a shock exit from the band which was announced by the group today.
Jo O’Meara, Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee and Bradley McIntosh gave an update as they spoke together as a group for the first time since Paul’s death.
They explained that Hannah Spearritt will not be joining the group’s reunion tour this year, following Paul’s shock death.
S Club 7 have since removed the ‘7’ from their website to reflect the death of Paul, and have now changed it to ‘S Club’ instead.
Fans are still able to view information about S Club’s upcoming tour, as well as purchase merchandise.
Hannah was set to join her bandmates to celebrate 25 years since they shot to international fame with their debut album.
With Jo and Tina fighting back tears, Jon said: “Although Hannah will always be a part of S Club, she won’t be joining us on this tour.”
It was confirmed in April that S Club 7’s Paul was found dead at his home in Dorset aged 46.
Paul and Hannah, 41, got together in 2001, after becoming friends in their teens at the National Youth Music Theatre.
But their on-off relationship failed to launch.
In the clip, Rachel explained: “We’re taking the time to process and get our heads around it all.”
Tina added: “It’s just really sad and really, really hard to process it right now.”
Paul was referred to as a “big brother” by Bradley in the heart breaking video.
He continued: “No one could ever replace our Paul. He lives on inside each and every one of us.”
“However, the five of us are really excited and geared up to crack on and it’s going to be our tribute to Paul.
“We’re renaming the tour ‘The Good Times Tour’ which is the song Paul was going to sing.”
Jon struggled to continue talking as he began to cry.
Tina added: “That was Paul’s song and all the fans know that that was his song so it just feels right.”
“He’s always going to be with us,” Rachel added.
The band finished by thanking fans for all their messages and love shared for Paul.
