Atomic Katon(a)

Another reunion we didn't really need to have

Atomic Kitten in 2001

Remember Atomic Kitten? The three-gal British group what had hits with covers of “The Tide Is High” and “Be With You” and the rather good (or so it seemed at the time) “Whole Again”?

Well, according to the News Of The World, they’re back!

Will these unnecessary reunions never cease?

But the big news is that Liz McClarnon, Natasha Hamilton and Jenny Frost will be joined by original member Kerry Katona (who Jenny replaced) for a 10 date tour that will apparently earn them a six figure sum each.

I would quote some of the “sources” in the story, but they read as if they’ve been made up by people in the NOTW office. The gist is that nobody would care if Kerry weren't there and she's broke and would quite like the cash, thanks.

Now given that the girls never really had a hit when Kerry was in the group – the exception being “Whole Again” which was re-recorded whilst still at No.1 to include Jenny’s vocals and have Kerry taken out of the video – one wonders what she will do on stage.

And given some of her recent antics one wonders if she will even be able to turn up and just how the other girls will deal with her being the focus while they do all the work.

In other words: it just might be the best thing to happen in days!

(But not nearly as good as the Blue reunion which we haven’t even mentioned yet, but will once there are some actual details)
