S Club 7 fans have been left unimpressed after just one member of the band turned up to perform at a recent sold-out gig.
Tina Barrett, 46, and Bradley McIntosh, 41, had been scheduled to play at the 150-capacity Wyld venue in Newport, Isle of Wight after fans snapped up the £23 tickets in under 90 seconds.
However, when the gig came around concert goers were left disappointed when only McIntosh showed up for the performance after Barrett suffered a scheduling clash.
In light of the mishap, fans who attended the gig shared their disappointment on Twitter about not being notified of the change.
One concert-goer wrote: “Absolutely raging!! Paid good money to see two members of S Club 7 and only one showed up. We weren’t notified about this either.”
“What a let down. Turned up to find out they can’t perform as S Club as they’ve signed a contract and no Tina. Happy to take everyone’s money though,” another tweeted.
A third added: "What a disappointing night. I felt so bad for Bradley.”
Following the furore online, a Wyld spokesman told the Daily Star: “Sadly, this situation was out of our hands.”
The news comes after S Club 7 announced they are reuniting for a UK tour later this year in celebration of their 25th anniversary.
The seven-piece pop group were originally created by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller in 1998 and produced hits including Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’ and their debut Bring It All Back.
In 2003 they disbanded but briefly came back together in 2014 to perform a medley of their best-known songs for the BBC Children In Need appeal.
Their new UK and Ireland arena reunion tour will see all the original seven members — Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett — back on the road together.
We can't wait to be reunited with you all this October 🇬🇧
