Paul was the founding member of the band and was found dead in his home in Dorset on April 6 aged 46.
In the video the group were reduced to tears as they said: "It's taken a while for us to find the right words to describe how we feel about losing our brother Paul.
"We are all still in so much disbelief and Paul was a big brother to us, even to you guys. Nobody can ever replace our Paul and he lives on in each and every one of us."
Despite the sad tone of the message, the band reassured fans they are excited for the upcoming tour: "The five of us are geared up to do the tour, it's going to be our tribute to Paul."
The band have rebranded from S Club 7 to S Club and have renamed the tour 'The Good Times' tour in honour of Paul's song.
The group will be preforming in Dublin in the 3Arena this year on October 16.
