Rachel Stevens has revealed S Club 7's touching plans to mark the anniversary of Paul Cattermole's death.
The late singer was found dead at his home in Dorset at the age of 46 on April 6 - just two months after the group had announced they were set to return to the music scene with a huge comeback tour. Nearly a year since his passing, Rachel says that she and her fellow bandmates are "raising a glass" to Paul, and added that their tour has turned into a "special tribute" to him.
"I can’t believe it is coming up to a year, but we will absolutely be raising a glass," Rachel explained to The Sun on Sunday. "We celebrate him all the time and that has been another thing that has been so special about coming back together. Paul was so excited about this tour, and it has turned into such a tribute to and celebration of him. It has been very emotional, but it’s a very cathartic way of sharing him and his memories."
S Club 7 rose to fame at the turn of the Millennium, having been put together by music mogul Simon Fuller - who has worked with acts such as Spice Girls, Kelly Clarkson and Amy Winehouse - in 1998. The widely acclaimed pop group are known for their hits songs including 'S Club Party', 'Never Had a Dream Come True' and 'Reach.'
The group announced a huge comeback tour just two months after Paul Cattermole died unexpectedly in early April at the age of 46 (PA)Back in May, the Dorset Coroner's Service confirmed that Paul had died of natural causes and there would be no inquest into his death. A spokeswoman for the Dorset Coroner's Office said: "We confirm that Mr Cattermole died from natural causes and our investigations have concluded. As his death was from natural causes there will be no inquest."

"This song will always be yours, but we hope we’ve managed to do you proud. Thank you for all the Good Times. Deepest love, your S Club family."

The tribute to our beloved Paul is beautiful," one user said while another posted: "Aww happy heavenly birthday Paul we miss you." One user commented: "Oh wow…happy birthday Paul, we miss you. thank you boys for this beautiful tribute."
