‘While the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police has confirmed that there were no suspicious circumstances. Paul’s family, friends and fellow members of S Club request privacy at this time.”
Paul, who famously sold his band’s Brit Award in 2018, ventured out into the world of tarot reading last year – and provided online services for fans.
And just weeks ago, Paul revealed he had consulted with the cards to see what the future held in his final ever interview.

“There were other cards as well, ace of clubs – passion, new beginnings, your cup over-runeth with genuinely passionate emotion.
“It’s positivity – something to be passionate about.”
