Sad news - S Club 7 singer just 46 yrs old passes away. Just ahead of a reunion tour. Felt so sorry for him for the negative press he received for his appearance when the band announced a reunion
Ah man. Used to love S Club 7, one of them groups where almost all of their songs got people on the dance floor. Had many a night on the main floor of the Venue at New Cross dancing away to their stuff. They even performed at our Uni graduation summer ball back in the day!
Hadn’t heard anything about the reunion or him getting stick after the announcement. The Missus just showed me a picture and he looked like a fairly average 40 something bloke with a “Dad bod”. Very sad physical appearance is still something that is being used as a stick to beat people with. The media especially should know far better by now. It’s bullying really, no more no less. I hope it wasn’t a factor in his untimely passing.
Saw an interview with him a few years ago where it was quite apparent that life post-fame hadn’t been the kindest to him. Had struggled financially to quite a drastic extent, and had to sell his Brit award trophies to get by.

RIP
The only thing I recall was a humiliating appearance on Loose Women. That was years ago.
