July 5, 20231 yr I had the strongest feeling that something like this was coming, especially with all the rumours doing the rounds about contract disputes after she bowed out the tour. I think we can safely say Simon Fuller is about to be torn a new one - and rightly so!
July 5, 20231 yr Intriguing. The blurb makes it sound like this book was finalised before Paul’s death and her leaving the group: From S Club 7 star to Hollywood, and back to pop stardom, Hannah Spearritt has been a star since her teens. As one seventh of an iconic pop band Hannah has spent most of her life in the limelight and is now ready to lift the lid on the truth behind the headlines. In this new autobiography, Hannah will open up her life to reveal all on her personal journey and the reality of life behind the mask of fame and the true story of S Club 7. Covering everything from celebrity, her rise to pop fame, working in Hollywood, A List celebrity encounters, as well as the truth behind the media headlines and her struggle to recover from a major health scare that left her feeling she was dying. Hannah's story will lay bare the struggles and pain that lay behind the glamour and success. Told in her friendly warm voice and with candour, Hannah will reveal all about her time with S Club, life on the road, the friendships, fallouts, and romances then breakup. As well as discussing the experiences that have shaped her, mistakes, finding love and motherhood, Hannah will also reflect on mental health, identity and life lessons that will resonate with readers. This page turner will race through Hannah's unbelievable exciting life, ending on the comeback of S Club, rebooting her career and coming back in the scene with two beautiful daughters and a lovely partner Adam.
July 5, 20231 yr The timing of the release is definitely interesting - just before the tour begins! Looking forward to this, not expecting her to be especially complimentary of Simon Fuller (and could tie in with the lawyers story as mentioned already), but definitely looking forward to reading about both S Club and Primeval and what her accounts of those days were.
July 5, 20231 yr Really looking forward to getting this. The fact it’s going to be an audiobook as well is even better.
July 9, 20231 yr This just makes the tour feel even more awkward. With one member sadly passing away and another doing a tell all biography which will no doubt attack Simon, who is behind the tour, it just feels like the tour is doomed.
July 10, 20231 yr Doomed to be a disaster. I can imagine a lot of people going to not bother to turn up. Hannah will no doubt be on TV before the tour promoting her book saying how awful Simon is and how awful the loss of Paul is and that she just couldn't be around Simon and do it with what has happened. It hardly sets anyone going up for this will be an amazing night.
July 12, 20231 yr I think looked at objectively, yes the timing of the book coming out is probably not ideal for potential ramifications it may have. But the way I see it is it was Hannah's decision to bow out of doing the tour, and I completely respect her decisions for not doing it. And I admire her for wanting to write and speak about her truth. Same as I respect the others for going ahead and for still doing something to mark their legacy and also fittingly remember Paul. Is it the situation any of us wanted a few months ago when this tour was announced and there was so much anticipation and good will building? No. But this is how the cards have been dealt now, that's life. People die. People move on from jobs or places or situations that they don't feel comfortable in anymore. It would be very easy to sit there and dwell on the negative and write a whole tour off before it's even really happened. I'm still going to the tour, same as I'm going to read Hannah's book. The one who really deserves ire in all of this is Simon Fuller, and he will get what's coming to him. The fans are not stupid, they know the band aren't at the heart of any tension.
July 30, 20231 yr I just hope the book doesn't reveal any current animosity between Hannah and the band members, hopefully there's no issues like that.
July 30, 20231 yr I don't know how I feel about this. I don't see this being a big seller unless their is massive tea in it....
August 7, 20231 yr @1688625010808639488Â Date situation seems to be messy as hell but the photo is beautiful!
