New revelations about Paul Cattermole's final days emerged months after his death.
The S Club 7 member was found dead on April 6, aged 46, and the Dorset Coroner's Service revealed in June that he died from natural causes. Following his death, the group decided to continue the reunion tour to honor his legacy.
S Club 7 Paul Cattermole's Final Days Explored
Four months after Cattermole died, a new report revisited the musician's final days, including him feeling "unwell" and having debts.
According to The Sun, the late S Club 7 member - who died without a will - only left £15,000 (around $19,121 based on the current exchange rate) to his family. He reportedly had £35,773 ($45,603) at the time of his death, but he also had debts and bills worth £20,000 ($25,495).

Cattermole reportedly struggled before his death due to finance-related issues, with a source claiming he was not "in a good way" before he died.
"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 unnamed insider went on.
After his death, S Club 7 released its first single in decades to pay tribute to its late member.
S Club 7 Member Suffered Financial Difficulties
Although S Club 7 became one of the hottest pop groups in the early 2000s, Cattermole and his other bandmates had been open about their financial difficulties.
For Cattermole's part, Daily Mail said he filed for bankruptcy in 2015 after leaving the band. He also put his Brit Award up for sale on eBay due to the bills he needed to pay.
He tried to regain financial independence by also bidding on the frame he received after S Club 7's album scored platinum in New Zealand and even signed up for reality shows like "Dancing On Ice" and "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!."
However, he failed the latter as the shows told him he was not famous enough.
In 2018, he told Loose Women that he no longer had money and even had to borrow a shirt to wear for the show.
To aid himself more, he launched a career as a YouTube tarot card reader and asked fans to donate in return.
