Former S Club 7 member Paul Cattermole has died unexpectedly at the age of 46, just weeks after the band announced their comeback tour. His family and the pop group released a statement expressing their deep sorrow over his sudden passing.
Cattermole’s death occurred on Thursday, and while the cause remains unknown, Dorset Police have confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances. The family and fellow S Club members have requested privacy during this difficult time.
S Club 7, one of the most successful pop acts of the late 1990s and early 2000s, delivered hits such as Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’, and S Club Party. The group achieved 11 UK top 10 singles, including four number ones, and sold over 10 million albums worldwide. Their impressive career also includes two Brit Awards.
In heartfelt social media posts, Cattermole’s bandmates expressed their devastation and grief, saying, “There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel.” They also acknowledged their gratitude for the memories they shared with him and emphasized how deeply he will be missed by all.
In February, S Club 7 announced an 11-date reunion tour, with concerts planned for arenas across the UK and Ireland later this year.
