S Club 7 announce reunion tour to celebrate 25th anniversary!
After months of speculation, S Club 7, one of the most successful British pop groups of all time, have today announced they are returning for a reunion tour in celebration of their 25-year legacy.
The seven-piece pop group, who achieved four UK number one songs including Bring It All Back, Don't Stop Movin' and Never Had A Dream Come True, are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a UK and Ireland arena tour later this year.
All original seven members - Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett - will be back on the road together from October.
During a press conference in London hosted by radio DJ Scott Mills, 44-year-old Stevens said: "I think it was a resounding yes from everyone. I think everyone is in such a brilliant place. I think where we are in the world right now, we just want to get up there and bring some joy and positivity.
"I can speak for myself - my kids listen to our music - I think our lyrics and everything are so joyful and so positive and to bring that back to kids today and that nostalgia is such a special thing to be a part of."
Bandmate McIntosh told Mills it would be "great" to bring S Club 7's music to a "younger generation."
Meanwhile, Lee, who has performed in West End shows including Les Miserables and Jersey Boys since S Club 7, said: "There's lots of mums and dads in the group now so it's not just a new generation for other people, but for our kids and nephews and nieces as well who are really, really excited seeing their uncle and mums and dads up on stage, it's going to be fantastic."
Group member Barrett, who joked the S Club babies could be the tour's support act, said: "My six-year-old loves (the S Club 7 song) Reach. He learned it at school and he does the dance routine and everything. It's just the cutest."
