"After eight years it feels amazing to announce that we’re reuniting and performing together again," the seven-member band told elated fans at the time. "We’re so excited to bring the S Club party back to our fans across the country to celebrate 25 years of S Club 7. "We can’t even believe it’s been so long.

Music and friendship have always been at the core of everything that we’ve ever done. We hope everyone can join us for one big party." Just weeks later however, 46 year old Paul was found dead at his home in Dorset.

A new report now claims that the hitmaker was "not doing well financially" at his time of passing, adding during a conversation with The Sun: "Although it is shocking a member of the group would not be well-off, people who knew Paul might not be surprised by how little he left." The source described it as "absolutely terrible that "S Club made tens or hundreds of millions but Paul died like this, in near poverty." The report claims that the vocalist let total holdings of £35,773, but that he owed more than £20,000 in debts and bills, leaving behind a remaining £15,489 after deductions.

Paul himself had opened up in the past about how surprised he was at the low level of income that the band received altogether during their peak in the early.
