The band’s comeback tour kicked off in Manchester yesterday (12 October) where S Club members on stage made sure to pay an emotional tribute to the late vocalist Paul Cattermole.
The singer tragically died on 6 April leaving the remaining members of the iconic pop superband - Jo O’Meara, Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens - in a state of grief.
S Club - formerly known as S Club 7 - took to the AO Arena to commence their 25th anniversary reunion tour.
Hannah was also not present after previously withdrawing from the 'The Good Times' tour earlier in the year.
For their first show, the five-piece appeared on stage silhouetted in front of bright beaming, coloured lights with Rachel donning a red flared and glittering bodysuit while Jo opted for a turquoise skin-tight suit with matching shoes.
Bradley rocked an all-purple fit and Jon was dressed in yellow, while Tina wore a bright pink bodysuit with thigh-high boots.
The band'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".
The band are set to perform in Sheffield on Saturday, 14 October.
