S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole’s cause of death has now been confirmed following his tragic passing at the age of 46.
The singer tragically died last month ahead of the band’s reunion tour.
News of the star’s death left his family, friends, bandmates and the general public shocked and devastated. He was found dead in his ground floor flat in Wareham, Dorset.
Since Paul’s passing, before the band’s 25th anniversary reunion tour, S Club member Hannah Spearritt announced her decision not to continue with the reunion — which has been renamed to The Good Times Tour — but the rest of the band will go ahead.
