Paul Cattermole: New heartbreaking details about the S Club 7 singer’s death have been revealed

Paul Cattermole was a member of the pop group from the late 90s and early 2000s, S Club 7. Paul sadly passed away months before he was supposed to join the pop band for a reunion tour of the UK.

Since the group is no longer complete, with Paul’s death and Hannah Spearritt not joining, the band had to rename themselves.

New information has been revealed about S Club 7 and the few hours before Paul Cattermole’s death and it is heartbreaking.

S Club members tried to call Paul Cattermole

According to media, the members of S club tried to call their bandmate, Paul Cattermole mere hours before finding out that he had died.

The group revealed that when they learnt of his passing ‘it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.’

In a recent interview, Jo O’Meara revealed that she and Jon Lee were the first to hear about Paul’s death from their management. They then go on to explain that they were all really concerned and ‘panicked’ as Paul had stopped replying to messages and wasn’t answering their calls.

Jon told The Sun:

We’d done a Zoom call with him, all of us, on the Monday. Then our management had messaged him a few times and it hadn’t shown that it’d been read on WhatsApp

He then added that at first, they weren’t worried as it was typical behaviour for Paul:

So it was like, ‘Is he all right?’ But then it was like, ‘Yeah it’s Paul. You know, sometimes he doesn’t answer his phone

They tried again the next day but Paul was still not answering:

Then the next day I phoned him and messaged him.

Everyone was trying to get hold of him . . . and no one could.
