Brit Award winners S Club 7, famous for hits such as Reach and Don't Stop Movin', were due to visit Cardiff on a tour schedule to start later this year. The group, which consists of Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Rachel Stevens, and Tina Barrett alongside Cattermole, were scheduled to perform at Cardiff International Arena on October 23.
A statement on the S Club social media accounts said: "We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel.
