Atomic Kitten reform for jailed football fan
Published Wednesday, Nov 1 2006, 10:13 GMT | By Ben Rawson-Jones
Atomic Kitten will reform next month for a one-off concert in aid of an imprisoned football fan.
The singing trio split up in 2004, citing the need for an extended break, after amassing a string of hits like chart topper 'Whole Again' and 'Ladies Night'. They decided to reunite for the gig to help pay the £90,000 fine incurred by Michael Shields, a Liverpool supporter, who is currently serving a ten year jail sentence in Bulgaria for the attempted murder of a barman.
20-year-old Shields has maintained his innocence since last year's incident. Alongside the reformed Kittens - Jenny Frost, Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon - other acts performing at the concert will include The Bay City Rollers and Gloria Gaynor. Radio One DJ Chris Moyles is lined up to host the event.
