Paul Cattermole

[2] His grandfather worked at Abbey Road Studios in London, which gave the young Paul the idea of finding a job in music.

[3] Cattermole's first big break was when he landed a part in a local performance of West Side Story.

He later joined the National Youth Music Theatre, where he met his future S Club 7 bandmate Hannah Spearritt; they appeared together in Pendragon (1994).

[4] When he was 16, Cattermole decided to go in a different musical direction and formed a heavy metal band called Skua[3] before Simon Fuller chose him to be in S Club 7.

The concept and brand of the group was created by Simon Fuller, also their manager through 19 Entertainment; they were signed to Polydor Records.

His final concert with the group was Party at the Palace, part of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee celebrations.

[11] In June 2002, Cattermole reunited with his old school friends and formed the nu metal band Skua—described as having a "Limp Bizkit vibe" as well as comparing their style to Rage Against the Machine.

Cattermole sang with his own band at a charity concert called 'The Sounds of Summer' at 'The Lord Taverners' club in London on 27 July 2011.

[20] Due to commitments with S Club 7's reunion, Skua found themselves lacking a frontman and the project halted having only released one album.

[26] In a 2018 interview with Loose Women Cattermole revealed that, since leaving The Rocky Horror Show cast, he was "working on odd jobs" to make ends meet, and that he had later found regular work as a station manager for a community radio station in Swanage.

[35] Barrett, O'Meara and Stevens also made an appearance at the 2023 Brit Awards on 11 February, reminding viewers to tune in to find out what was happening.

[41] Cattermole and future S Club 7 bandmate Hannah Spearritt met as members of the National Youth Music Theatre in 1994.

[46][26] In January 2018, he auctioned his Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act up on eBay, saying "there are bills to pay.

[48] Cattermole also listed his 2002 Brit for "Don't Stop Movin'" (Best British Single), which hit the same figures, but was ultimately relisted and reportedly sold for £3,000.

[56][57] On 26 July 2023, S Club, now down to five members after Spearitt's departure, released the single "These Are the Days" in memory of Cattermole.
