There were nine disappointed faces as Dylan, seven, Scarlett, nine, Megan, five, eight-year-olds Thea, Georgina, Amy and Georgia, Josh, five, and three-year-old Willow heard the news that their favourite band would not be playing.
"I can't believe it, as we have come such a long way just for S Club," Helen said.
"But we have had a good time with S Club Juniors. They were brilliant but all the girls love S Club."
Paul Mooney, who brought his daughter Clare and son Connor from Framlingham, said: We came because of S Club but if someone is ill then they are ill."
The three-hour gig did supply many other acts to keep the crowd entertained. First up were S Club Juniors.
Next on stage was Pop Idol finalist Sarah Whatmore. Ipswich's own Rosco rounded off the night.
