The band had only just announced a reunion tour.
Two months prior to Paul's death, S Club 7 revealed it would be hitting the road again, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band.
"Obviously, we're bringing the nostalgia. Obviously we're bringing the late '90s, early (2000s), so it's a lot of fun," bandmate Bradley McIntosh told BBC's The One Show at the time. "It's very positive, our music, very positive."
Our thoughts are with the Cattermole family during this terrible time.
