Fans of iconic pop group S Club 7 have been sent into a frenzy after band member Jon Lee strongly hinted at a major reunion set for 2026. The exciting prospect was teased on social media, sparking hopes of a full-scale comeback for the beloved noughties act.
A Nostalgic Hint on Instagram
While no official announcement has been made by the band's management, Jon Lee, 47, took matters into his own hands on Instagram. In a sentimental post, he shared a lengthy quote about cherishing nostalgia and holding onto the feelings of laughter and safety from the past.
The post was specifically tagged to fellow original members Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, and Tina Barrett. Lee simply captioned the evocative message with "@SCLUB 2026!" – a clear signal that something is in the works for two years' time.
The Potential Line-Up and Fan Reaction
This potential reunion could involve original members Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Hannah Spearitt, Bradley McIntosh, and Tina Barrett. Notably, fellow members Bradley McIntosh and Hannah Spearitt were not tagged in Lee's initial post.
The band has faced tragedy in recent years, with Paul Cattermole sadly passing away in 2023. The group's last major activity was for their 25th anniversary in 2023, which Hannah Spearitt withdrew from and the remaining members continued as 'S Club'.
Despite the lack of confirmation from other members, the fan reaction was immediate and ecstatic. One excited follower commented, "OMG! Can’t wait to know more about it," while another declared, "TOUR, NEW MUSIC, TAKE MY MONEY."
A History of Comebacks
S Club 7 originally split in 2003 after a string of massive hits including 'Reach' and 'Never Had a Dream Come True'. They first reunited for a successful arena tour in 2015, proving their enduring popularity.
They join a growing list of 90s and 00s pop acts like Five, the Spice Girls, and Steps who have successfully returned to the stage and charts, riding a powerful wave of nostalgia. The prospect of new music or a tour in 2026 would mark the latest chapter for a band that defined a generation's pop music taste.
All eyes are now on the other members to see if they will confirm Jon Lee's exciting hint and make the S Club 2026 reunion a official reality.
