S Club 7 make major change to tour after Hannah Spearritt quits following ex Paul Cattermole’s shock death
S CLUB 7 have made a major change to their tour after Hannah Spearritt quit following on from her ex Paul Cattermole’s shock death.
The band have renamed it the The Good Times Tour – which is a song very close to Paul’s heart.
Jo O’Meara, Rachel Stevens, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee and Bradley McIntosh shared an emotional video on social media telling fans about the update.
“We are actually renaming the tour The Good Times Tour, which is the song that Paul was going to sing,” Jon told fans.
Tina added: “We’re calling the tour The Good Times Tour in tribute to Paul because that was his song and all the fans know that is his song. It feels right.”
The group will now perform as a five after Hannah’s shock exit from the band was also announced during the clip.
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.”
The band have rebranded themselves as S Club on a number of platforms, including their Instagram account.
Their official website has been reworked to remove ‘7’ after Paul’s death last month.
On April 7 it was revealed that Paul was found dead at his home in Dorset, just weeks after the band revealed their plans to reunite.
The 46-year-old singer had been looking forward to joining his former S Club bandmates for a reunion tour scheduled for later this year
Paul’s death last month came as a huge shock for everyone.
A statement from Paul’s family said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.
“Paul was found yesterday, 6th April 2023 at his home in Dorset and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.
“While the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police has confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances.
“Paul’s family, friends and fellow members of S Club request privacy at this time.”
