S Club have broken their silence on Hannah Spearritt returning, after she confirmed she won’t be joining the tour after the tragic news of bandmate Paul Cattermole’s death.

Cattermole died aged 46 after being found on April 6 at his home in Dorset, his family confirmed in a statement.

Tearful tributes were shared from the likes of heartbroken fans and his bandmates, who said they were ‘lucky to have had him in our lives.’

Shortly after speculation over whether the tour would still go ahead, the Bring It All Back singers issued a tearful update that five of them would still be performing this year, without Hannah.

However, they’ve now issued an update on whether Hannah will return.

During an appearance on The One Show on Friday, Jon Lee said: ‘The door is always open.’

He went on: ‘We’ve got lots of stuff coming up after the tour, we’ve got loads of stuff coming up at the end of this year, but there’s loads of projects that we’re working on for next year as well.

‘She could always pop in and join us maybe for something next year.’

The band, who rebranded from S Club 7 earlier this year, will continue with their tour, as Jon, Tina Barrett, Rachel Stevens, Jo O’Meara and Bradley McIntosh will take to the stage.

Their update on Hannah comes after the band announced they’re releasing a new single, in honour of Cattermole.

Speaking about the new tune, Jo said on The One Show: ‘This song was actually written for us 20 years ago and I think it probably wasn’t right for us back then.

‘And it just popped up again and seemed like the absolute perfect song to do.

‘We’ve reworked the lyrics a little bit and made it more of a tribute song.’

She added: ‘The video as well is more of a way of reflecting in a really positive and happy way of what a massive and happy character Paul was.’



In the emotional film, the bandmates discuss Cattermole and their memories while looking back at pictures from their 25 years together.

Despite the grief, Bradley told Metro.co.uk that he was really looking forward to the tour and excited to introduce their music to a younger generation.

He shared: ‘I can’t say too much because it’s a little bit under wraps at the moment – but I can tell you that it’s gonna be epic.

‘Rehearsals are underway. We are coming up with some great ideas and we’re gonna put in a lot of hard work to make this an amazing tour.’

The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One.
