S Club are set for comeback as group plot arena tour three years after the tragic death of Paul Cattermole and Hannah Spearritt quitting the band

90s pop group S Club are set to return for an arena sized comeback tour almost three years after the death of singer Paul Cattermole.

Music industry sources say that concerts are being planned for February 2027 – and it is understood that Hannah Spearitt who fell out with the rest of the clan in 2023 – may join them.

Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee and Tina Barrett are understood to have now committed to the comeback tour, with several dates booked at arena sized venues in the UK for the start of next year.

It is understood that Bradley McIntosh has also agreed to do the tour, and efforts have now begun to persuade Hannah.

Hannah was ousted from the last tour in 2023 after falling out with the rest of the group when she sold an interview about Cattermole to a red top newspaper, breaking an agreement they had to stay silent until the cause of his death was learned.

'There is so much excitement about this tour,' says the insider. 'They have a huge fan base and a very loyal following so S Club would be thrilled to perform to them again.

'It will also be a fantastic way to once again remember Paul, who they so desperately miss. Some involved in the project claim that Hannah will join in but there was a lot of bad blood from the last tour so who knows.'

In a social media post last month Jon appeared to hint at a reunion, writing: 'I have always been a nostalgic person.

The kind who cling to old songs, saved texts, and memories that seem too small to matter, yet mean everything.'

S Club, who renamed themselves from S Club 7, reunited to mark 25 years since they got together in 2023.

However, just weeks after their announcement, Cattermole died suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 46. It was later revealed his passing was from natural causes, specifically heart failure.

They carried on with their gigs and renamed them The Good Times Tour which was to mark the band's 25th anniversary since when they were formed by music mogul Simon Fuller.

S Club also released their first new single in more than 20 years, These are the Days in memory of Paul.

The band, which catapulted to fame in 1998, were best known for their hits Bring It All Back, S Club Party, Reach and Never Had a Dream Come True.

They made their name on BBC show Miami 7 and a year later, in 1999, their debut hit Bring It All Back went to No1. 

They had some success in the US with their hit Never Had A Dream Come True.

However, in 2002, Cattermole quit the band. A year later the band broke up, and Mr Fuller launched a follow-up project, S Club Juniors. 

Rachel Stevens went on to have a solo career and was also runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.
