Rachel Stevens has spoken out following the death of her S Club 7 bandmate Paul Cattermole, paying homage to his ‘sensitive soul’.
Last week, it was announced that Cattermole had died at the age of 46, months after the pop group announced that they were embarking on a 20th anniversary tour.
Tributes poured in following the devastating loss of the singer, with S Club 7 saying in a statement: ‘There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel.’
Members of the band have since been releasing tributes individuals, with Stevens, 45, sharing a black-and-white photo of Cattermole on Instagram.
‘Thank you so much for all your beautiful messages of love and support 💔🙏🏻The out pouring of love for our Paul has been so incredibly special and has meant so much. I hope he knew how loved he was ❤️,’ she wrote.
‘Such a kind, gentle and sensitive soul with the most incredible energy and such a wild free spirit. He would light up any room 💫.
‘We are heartbroken but so grateful for the memories we all shared 🙏🏻
An absolute shining star who we will love and miss always. RIP darling Paul 💔.’
