S Club 7 To 'Bring It All Back'!

That's right, S Club 7 have announced today that they will be re-uniting for a tour this summer and if it is a success there is a possibility of a further two album releases.  For fans who've never had a dream come true, they certainly will have now!

It is reported that the pop group felt that now was the perfect time for a come back with the Queen's diamond jubilee and the Olympics coming up.  This is probably true, but they've most likely chosen this time to try and gain as much money as they can.  According to The Mirror, the group have been 'inundated' with offers over the past few years but have always rejected them.  It's surely no coincidence then that they decided to reform only months after seeing the success of Steps' comeback.  The Daily Record said that the group have signed a 7 figure deal to undergo their UK tour this summer, so it seems they're just looking to reunite to top up the cash and then part ways again.

But whatever the reason, the reunion will no doubt be a roaring success and the arenas will be full of nostalgic fans in their teens and 20s reaching for the stars and bringing the house down.  When I was on a family day out to 'The Big Idea' in Irvine in 2002, we discovered that over the hill next to it was the Blue Peter Roadshow.  So as an excited 8 year old who regularly tuned in to watch Blue Peter, I was aware that S Club 7 were due to appear at the show.  With high hopes of seeing the group I was disappointed when out came a tribute band as S Club 7 themselves had cancelled.  Hopefully they'll be more reliable for their fans wanting to see them on their summer tour!

It has been 10 years since the group last played in Glasgow and they'll no doubt be stopping off this summer as a part of the tour, but expect a hefty price tag if you want to attend.  With tickets for Steps' comeback tour costing £40 a seat, S Club 7 tickets will most likely set you back around about the same if not more.  But they're ain't no party like and S Club party so maybe it'll be worth the investment!
