Atomic Kitten are set to reform for a one off gig in support of imprisoned Liverpool FC fan Michael Shields, who is serving ten years in prison in Bulgaria for the attempted murder of a barman. The band will appear alongside the likes of Chris Moyles, Gloria Gaynor, The Bay City Rollers and The Farm at the event, which will take place at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool. The concert is intended to raise funds to help pay Shields' fine of £90,000 so that he can return from Bulgaria and serve the rest of his sentence in the UK.
Shields has always maintained his innocence over the attack, which is alleged to have taken place in Varne in July 2005, following Liverpool's Champions League win.
