 S Club 7 was a pop band that formed at the end of the '90s, following in the footsteps of mixed-gender groups like Steps, and went on to achieve worldwide success. Their first single "Bring It All Back" brought them instant popularity, and they were heavily marketed as "the next big thing" for kids with a TV show (similar in style to The Monkees) as well as various TV specials.As the name suggests, there were seven members to the band: Joanne "Jo" O'Meara - took lead vocals more often than any of the others and was widely regarded as the best singer. She attempted to go solo after the band split but a huge racism scandal on Celebrity Big Brother ruined her reputation and she suffered a mental breakdown. Right now she has shaken off the controversy and is a mother. She also has a YouTube channel. Rachel Stevens - probably second in line to Jo and was heavily marketed as the Girl Next Door of the band. She took lead vocals quite often and went on to have a fairly successful solo career after the band split. She later competed on Season 6 of Strictly Come Dancing and placed second. Bradley McIntosh - the most prominent male member of the band and also a twofer Token Minority. He attempted to have a music career but he has remained below the radar, mostly working behind the scenes as a writer and producer for other artists. Hannah Spearritt - pushed as the cutest one of the band and was hired mainly for her acting on the TV show. Has arguably had the most success after the split, having landed a prominent role on the show Primeval and later CASUAL+Y. Jon Lee - the boyish member of the band. Like Hannah, he was more of an actor and went on to have a career in the West End after the band split. In 2010, he publicly came out as gay, though claimed everyone else had known for years. Tina Barrett - the dancer of the group and the one who really nobody knows what happened to. Known to have choreographed many of the band's routines. Attempted a solo comeback in 2012 that was only promoted in men's mags and later re-emerged as the face of Christmas savings club Park in 2018. Notable nowadays for being significantly Older Than They Look. Paul Cattermole - the first person to leave the group (it was renamed "S Club" after that) to rejoin his secondary school Nu Metal band. Was romantically linked to Hannah for a while. Tragically died at the age of 46 in 2023.Their projects included: S Club, 7, Sunshine and Seeing Double - albums Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club - a TV show featuring the group playing fictionalised versions of themselves, as a struggling band trying to make it in America. Each season is named after the location it took place in. Back to the 50s, Boyfriends and Birthdays, Artistic Differences and Christmas Special - TV specials that followed the TV show's continuity. The first two are set during S Club's drive from Miami to LA and the second are set after they move out of Joni's apartment. S Club Go Wild - a documentary series in which each band member went to a different foreign country to see their sponsored endangered animal. S Club: Seeing Double - a feature length movie in a different continuity from the TV show. This one is more overtly fantasy, involving a mad scientist cloning the world's pop stars. It's also the only one of the tie-in media to not feature Paul in any way.After losing Paul at the beginning of Viva S Club, the band continued on with six members for about another year and one more album (Seeing Double) before disbanding. However, in 2014, all seven members reunited for a song medley for the British charity telethon Children in Need, and announced a short reunion tour in the summer of 2015. All seven members regrouped in February 2023 to announce a 25th anniversary tour, but less than two months later, on April 6, Paul Cattermole passed away suddenly due to heart problems. Paul's death devastated the group, with Hannah withdrawing from the upcoming tour and recording of the group's new single "These Are the Days" due to her grief. The rest of the group, now renamed S Club, chose to continue the tour, dedicating it to Paul's memory and renaming it "The Good Times Tour" after a song where Paul sang the lead vocals.
