Travis Tell S Club 7 Boys to Keep the Noise Down

It’s 4am and Travis frontman Fran Healy is trying to get some kip ahead of a gig in Birmingham. But the banging, shouting and screaming of a riotous party in the hotel room next door is disturbing his rest.

The thud of music and drunken male taunts resonate through the wall. “Who could it be?” wonders Fran. “The Gallaghers, Limp Bizkit or maybe the Rolling Stones?” Furious Fran finally investigates and is astonished to find it’s actually two fresh-faced lads from S Club 7.

The Scots rocker told the Sun last night: “I couldn’t believe the noise coming from next door I finally banged on their door and Bradley McIntosh and the little blond guy Jon Lee came out. I said, ‘If you don’t mind, some of us are trying to sleep because we’ve got a show to play tomorrow night’. They looked quite embarrassed.”

The groups were staying in the Hyatt Hotel after S Club’s Birmingham NEC arena date and the night before Travis’ gig at the same venue.
