S Club 7 fans are fuming after only one member of the band turned up to a concert.
The band were one of the biggest groups of the late 90s and early 2000s.
With two Brit Awards, four number-one singles and a hit TV series, you could not avoid S Club 7 around this time.
The band split up in 2003 but is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a special tour.
However, a scheduled appearance from members of the band has sparked some controversy.
Watch three members of S Club 7 talk about how their reunion came about below…
Tina Barratt and Bradley McIntosh were scheduled to perform at Wyld bar on the Isle of Wight.
Tickets for the performance cost £23 and sold out within 90 seconds.
However, fans were left surprised and disappointed when only McIntosh performed by himself, as Barratt did not show up.

Those in attendance have taken to social media and shared their disappointment.
One fan writes: “What a letdown.
“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.”
“What a disappointing night. I felt so bad for Bradley,” adds a second.
Someone else says: “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.”
A fourth adds: “What a letdown. 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.”

The owner of the bar, Josh Peverley, has spoken to the Isle of Wight County Press about the incident, explaining that the situation was ‘out of their hands’.
He says: “Sadly, this situation was out of our hands, and when we booked the show earlier this year there was no speculation or confirmation of an S Club 7 reunion, for which contractual obligations meant they weren’t able to appear for the show we had booked and sold tickets to.”
