S Club 7 to have a reunion tour in 2023
S Club 7 was a seven-member pop band from London formed in 1998. According to The Guardian, their debut single Bring It All Back charted them to success. In fact, all 11 of their singles reached the UK Top 5.
Unfortunately, the group split in 2003. However, in 2015, the full band managed to reunite for an arena tour.
In February this year, the group also announced their reunion tour coming up in October. “It feels amazing to announce that we’re reuniting and performing together again,” said the group then.
Sadly, the announcement of Cattermole’s death came only a few weeks after the announcement of S Club 7’s 2023 reunion tour.
Left in 2002 to join metal band
Ever since leaving S Club 7 in 2002, life has been rocky for Cattermole.
According to The Guardian, he initially left S Club 7 to form the metal band Skua. However, it was an unsuccessful endeavour.
The Daily Mail then reported that in 2015, he had to declare bankruptcy due to money problems. He even had to auction off one of his Brit awards as a result of his money issues.
His bandmates were apparently worried about his well-being just before he passed on as well.
MS News extends our deepest condolences to Cattermole’s family and his bandmates.
