I was about to say, that's what it's reference to, that's always been how they've finished tours since the beginning with that as the encore.

The full interview is up here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21454556/...marriage-split/ As is this video of her playing a game called "Have You Ever...?" WPbEE9D1Ty8

The band's TV shows and one hour specials on the BBC and ITV was how most fans came to be aware of them - so which is your favourite? Of the series it has to be L.A 7 for me - and for the one hour specials it has to be Back to the Fifties / Boyfriends and Birthdays.

Oh I love "Stand By You" 😍 The erasure of this and "Spiritual Love" on Spotify is a hate crime! I loved the dance routine as well. It's just a really happy, fun song!

"7" is by far and away my favourite album of theirs - so I was really shocked to find out in recent years that it's been so rubbished on pop forums / by the fans. I guess because it was in essence the soundtrack of L.A 7 - which is my favourite of their TV series - is what solidified my love of it. I genuinely love all the songs on it, it has that cool, laid-back sort of California vibe to it, in much the same way the songs on "S Club" all had that vibrant Miami beach feel to them that reflected Miami 7. I thought "All In Love Is Fair" was such a gorgeous song and I still do, I'd give my right arm for them to perform it on this tour that's coming up. I love "I'll Be There" as well, it has such a beautiful chilled out vibe to it, same with "Spiritual Love". I felt like such a boss when 12 year old me mastered Bradley's rap on that one 🤣 They really missed a trick not having "Bring The House Down" as a double-A-side with "Never Had A Dream Come True". It was the obvious choice of single after "Natural" anyway. I'm right in saying the remixes were already commissioned and sent out as promos before "Never Had A Dream Come True" was confirmed as the next single, so they were a bit silly not to do that. They'd done it with "Two In A Million / You're My Number One" the year before! So cutting an album short for singles made no sense at all.

I might have got myself a ticket for the Matinee show at the O2. I'll sell my ticket for the evening show a bit nearer the time. I was transferring some of my savings across ready for JLS' pre-sale on Wednesday and I thought "why the hell not?" Saves me a hotel bill as well 😂

Any update on when the UK pre-order is coming for this?

Aaah nice one 🙌 Same I just got the best Lower Tier seat that I could for the evening show at the O2 - Block 109 I think my seat is in? I'm quite fortunate that I'm 6 ft 3 so getting a view of the stage is not a problem for me. Just getting to see them at all is exciting for me!

Oh that album cover is beautiful! Shame in a way it's not coming a bit earlier in time for cherry blossom season. Think of the album launches she could have done!

He's just confirmed on his Insta Stories the next single is "I Found Her". He's also on The One Show tonight talking about that, the tour and also Starstruck on ITV that he presents which began a new series last week:

Looks like Rachel's returned the favour to Robbie Williams! Fully obsessed with this 😍

I did the Theatre Tour at Hammersmith Apollo. It was the night they filmed the DVD of it, it was Aston's birthday as well. First proper gig I ever went to!

Can understand. But I've been sat near the B-stage on previous tours of theirs - I was there on the 4th Dimension Tour in 2012 and they flew in onto the B stage for that one - and if you've seen any of their old tours they always try and do something special to get the whole audience involved from wherever they're sat! I'd definitely recommend watching Eyes Wide Open if y'all haven't seen it yet, which was filmed on their Outta This World tour. Brilliant film anyway but the actual gig was amazing. I saw it Christmas 2010 at Wembley Arena with my dad!

That's what I was thinking :dance: Even if it's a vinyl release for Best: The Greatest Hits I'd quite happily take that!

Hopefully - he says with fervent optimism - this means Uncle Simon is gonna work on getting us vinyls of the other albums for October instead?

One thing these interviews have confirmed as well is that they all felt the last tour could have been more than it was had Rona restrictions still not been a thing. Pleased to hear it'll go ahead as they intended it to now!

The official video drops on YouTube tomorrow at 5pm.

Had an email from their official store today - the release is now being bought forward to 5th May!

I was gonna say the mug is probably the best of a bad bunch! Also I'll update the topic for it in a second but the release of the Don't Stop Movin' 7" vinyl has been bought forward to 5th May - I had an email from the store today!

I mean. It's Germany so that doesn't really surprise me with the wording :lol:

LMAO 🤣 I could knock up designs for T-Shirt Studio better than that! Still it's a start I suppose!

They were on The One Show just now talking about the new tour. On new music, Marvin elaborated saying that they might go into do a few new tracks. If they did a rejigged greatest hits - maybe call it "Everybody Say JLS: The Ultimate Collection", adding the singles from 2.0 and a few new songs to accompany this tour, I'd be here for that. I never liked that their first greatest hits was called Goodbye! I'm debating whether to take my chances on one of the London shows or book for Brighton instead? I really want M&G again especially as I had to miss out last time. Manifesting it from now until the pre-sale TBH!

Very exciting! I had to miss out on the last tour so I'm here for this one. Definitely getting Meet and Greet as well!

Well this will be special in many ways for me. I didn't do the last reunion in 2015, but fundamentally, I am still a big S Club fan deep down. So I just hope the tour, when I go to see it at The O2, is just a really special, fun night, celebrating their music and what they achieved and that it ticks 12 year old me's bucket list. For the band, I hope it gives them the chance to remember what they loved about it and to just really enjoy it and appreciate it. Anything else would be a happy bonus!

I have been listening to the Seeing Double album today as a result of it being married up to their main profile. My goodness how criminal that it was so slept on! Just imagine if Paul had hung on for one more year. It would have sent them into the stratosphere. So many missed single opportunities - "Who Do You Think You Are", "Do It Till We Drop", "Dance", "Gangsta Love". I could go on!
