S Club forced to cancel second night of reunion gig

S Club have been forced to cancel the second night of their reunion tour.

The pop group were set to perform in Liverpool tonight (13 October), but

the M&S Bank Arena announced the gig has been postponed due to an 'unforeseen technical issue'.

With music that soundtracked our school discos, the group are currently made up of Bradley McIntosh, Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Tina Barrett and Jon Lee.

They kicked off their comeback tour last night in Manchester and paid an emotional tribute to the late singer, Paul Cattermole.

Part of the iconic S Club 7 line-up, he tragically died on 6 April leaving the remaining members in a state of grief, including Hannah Spearritt.

The Primeval actor withdrew from the ‘The Good Times’ tour earlier this year.

Down from seven to five, the band are performing plenty of their greatest hits in the concerts -obviously including ‘Reach’, ‘S Club Party’ and ‘Bring It All Back’.

Announcing tonight's cancellation, the arena in Liverpool wrote on social media: "We understand that S Club fans and the band will be very disappointed but as the safety and comfort of our visitors is our utmost priority, the show cannot proceed as planned."

S Club's statement confirming the cancellation reads: "S Clubbers, We're beyond devastated to announce that tonight's show in Liverpool has had to be postponed by the venue, due to them having an unforeseen technical issue impacting their power supply and therefore your safety.

"We can't begin to express how sorry we are. Especially as we know so many of you have travelled great distances to join us tonight.

"But your safety is our priority always. We're rescheduling tonight's performance in Liverpool to Monday 30th October and all tickets remain valid.

"If you cannot make the new date, refunds are available from your original point of purchase.

"We're absolutely heartbroken, but really hope we will see you then.

"Thank you for continuing to always support us.

"Sending you much love. Brad, Jo, Jon, Rachel, and Tina x."

Despite tonight’s cancellation, tomorrow’s performance in Sheffield is set to go ahead.
