S Club's Rachel Stevens reveals emotional way the band will pay tribute to Paul Cattermole on tour
The band will be heading off on a 15-date tour
Last updated 5th Sep 2023
S Club singer Rachel Stevens has opened up about the special way that the band are paying tribute to Paul Cattermole as they prepare to go on tour.
Paul had been set to join the band on their reunion tour, before he sadly passed away aged just 46 in April. The other members, minus Hannah Spearritt, will still be embarking on the 15-date tour, which starts in Manchester in October.
Speaking to The Mirror, Rachel shared the special way the band is honouring Paul, revealing that they have now changed the name of the tour. She said: "We have renamed the tour. It's called the Good Times tour, that was Paul's solo song that he was going to do an acoustic version of, so we just felt like that was so fitting.
"Paul is with us on so many decisions that we make, we think of Paul and there's so many sort of elements that are there with him in mind. It's definitely gonna be a huge celebration. It is so much fun, so much joy, lots of memories, and it's a tribute to him."
Rachel, 45, will be taking to the stage with her bandmates Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Jo O'Meara. Explaining that the band still share a special bond after all these years, she said: "It's a weird one, because so much time has passed, but yet when we're together in a room there's so many memories, and so many laughs and jokes that we share from back in the day. It's almost like no time has passed in some ways."
Although Hannah won't be joining the band on the upcoming tour, Rachel added: "The doors always open for Hannah, but she won't be on the tour."
Speaking about the band's excitement to perform to their fans again, Rachel said: "Nostalgia is such an incredible, powerful thing and there's so much love for S Club, and there's been so much support since our new single.
"So to get back out there and perform music we love and that the fans are going to love is really exciting. Some of our fans might have kids now, so that'll be lovely to bring their kids along, and I can't wait for all of our kids to be a massive part of this too."
