S Club have released their first single in more than 20 years, with a music video that honours the late Paul Cattermole.
Paul tragically died on 6 April this year at the age of just 46, mere weeks after the pop group announced a huge reunion arena tour.
Since Paul’s death, fellow S Club bandmate Hannah Spearritt also stepped back from the tour, leaving the remaining members – Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Rachel Stevens, and Tina Barrett to continue as a five-piece.
The 90s sensations have just released their first new single and music video in more than 20 years, and for long-time fans of the pop group, it’s a real nostalgia trip.
The video for These Are The Days also acts as a moving tribute to Paul, showing some of the band’s most significant moments from over the years.

Throwback clips from the group’s heyday are interwoven with present day.
There are videos from their 90s and 00s TV series – Miami 7, LA 7 and Hollywood 7 – as well as behind-the-scenes clips of them all together in their younger years and scenes from their music videos.

Throughout, a mid-20-year-old Paul is seen laughing and joking, and pranking his bandmates with everything from water pistols to photobombs.
The video lands ahead of the band’s 25th anniversary arena tour this autumn, which will kick off at the AO Arena in Manchester on 12 October.
S Club, who have four multi-platinum selling albums, two BRIT Awards, and nine number-one international hit singles to their name, will perform a second date here on 21 October, again at the AO Arena.

Noah Kahan begs fans to ‘just go to the bathroom’ ahead of Manchester shows
Daisy Jackson
Noah Kahan has had to issue a bizarre warning on concert etiquette ahead of his UK tour, after a fan apparently defecated on the floor at his show.
The Stick Season singer-songwriter, who will headline two massive gigs in Manchester this year, has begged his fans to ‘just go to the bathroom lmao’.
He’s had to speak out after videos circulated online that appeared to show human faeces beneath a chair and in the walkway at one of his US gigs.
According to witnesses at his Philadelphia show, one concert-goer relieved themselves onto the floor, then tried to kick the faeces under the seat in front.
Noah Kahan has now released a statement online that says: “If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao.
“I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that.”
The star has since gone one step further, and addressed the poop incident on stage in Toronto.
He told fans inside the venue: “This is awkward. When you enter this building, you enter a social contract, right?
“And rule number two besides ‘don’t literally f**king kill each other’, is ‘don’t s**t on the floor’.
“So we’re gonna do some therapy type thing where we all repeat after me, okay?”
He then led the crowd to repeat the following chant: “I solemnly swear, I will not s**t my pants, and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor.”
Indie legends Two Door Cinema Club announce arena show in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
Indie legends Two Door Cinema Club have announced their first arena headline tour in seven years, with a huge night in Manchester.
The group will be celebrating 15 years since the release of their seminal debut album, Tourist History.
And they’ll be playing that album in full, along with some of their greatest hits, when they hit the road next year.
Two Door Cinema Club have included a night at the AO Arena in Manchester on the tour, which will also visit Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow and London.
The trio will be calling on some big names to support them for their five arena gigs – Circa Waves and Arkayla will support in Glasgow, Manchester and London, with The Royston Club joining them for the rest.
Fans can expect to hear timeless indie anthems from Tourist History, including ‘What You Know’, ‘Something Good Can Work’, ‘Undercover Martyn’, and ‘I Can Talk’.
Speaking on the tour, the band said: “It’s been over seven years since we’ve done a UK and Ireland tour.
“Each and every one of these cities holds a special place in our hearts, we’ve played almost every venue there is to play in each of them, now it’s time for the big ones. We can’t wait.”
The news comes off the back of a massive sold-out gig at Crystal Palace Park last week, where they played to 25,000 fans, as well as a headline performance at Madison Square Gardens.
Fan presale will begin from 9am on Wednesday 1 July, before general sale stars on Friday 3 July – you can get tickets HERE.
