S Club Never Discussed A Split After Paul Cattermole Quit

Manchester Online spoke with Tina Barrett of S Club who denied talk that the group was close to splitting, especially with the departure of Paul Cattermole. “I think we definitely reassessed how it was gonna go from there,” says Tina, “but we were never gonna split, no.” Asked why Paul left, Tina admits, “We were quite kind of shocked that he was actually gonna leave. But in the big picture it wasn’t too much of a shock because Paul wasn’t really into the music. He was into, y’know, rock music. It’s a cool way to start off but I think after four years he was ready to do his own thing.”
