Leaving Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Quote Girls Aloud are planning a reunion concert to raise funds for cancer research in memory of their late bandmember Sarah Harding. Harding, 39, died last September from breast cancer. The reunion gig would seek to secure more funding for crucial medical equipment that could diagnose the cancer sooner. Nadine Coyle confirmed the news to OK! Magazine, saying that they want to honour her memory and provide help as they continue to grieve one of their best friends. “We’re planning a night for an event to raise money in honour of Sarah,” Coyle said. “She’s very much in the forefront of our minds. “We want to raise money for a piece of medical equipment that helps diagnose cancer earlier so people can be treated. We definitely want to do something to help others. She added that Harding’s death “still affects us deeply – to think about everything that she went through”. No further details were revealed of the Girls Aloud reunion special. The last time the band performed together was nearly 10 years ago in 2013. In February, felow bandmate Kimberley Walsh told the Daily Mail that a reunion wasn’t in the works yet because as none of the singers were “in that headspace at the moment”. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Girls Aloud. They formed in 2002 on Popstars: The Rivals and went on to become the UK’s biggest-selling girl group of the 21st century. Harding’s death came 13 months after she revealed that she was battling breast cancer, which later spread to other parts of her body. She wrote about her illness, journey and career in her autobiography Hear Me Out, which was released last March. Meanwhile, the late star had reportedly agreed to take part in a Girls Aloud reunion tour before her death. I'm going to wait until one of the other girls confirms this because I wouldn't put it past Nadine to share this story just for some headlines But I think a one night only reunion would be the most tasteful way for them to reunite at this point. I just wish Sarah was still around to do a tour with all five of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreak Anthem Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 For a one-night only event this is lovely. But I don't know if they're all up for performing. I know Cheryl canceled gigs, due to her upset over Sarah's death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think Cheryl would be the only one who didn't want to do it Although I know Nadine and Nicola were both at the same Sink the Pink drag night the other day and don't even seem to have interacted at all which is weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they? I checked both their social medias after the gig but neither had posted any photos with each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few short clips/pics of getting her hair done and then her guest spot. 🤷♂️ Edited April 22 by 365MM Forgot open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I was shocked she was there, but she did post photos of her. I don’t she was able to make it, and ran elsewhere for Sarah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaving Posted August 7 Author Report Share Posted August 7 This just popped up on my YouTube recommended! Interesting to hear them talk about the group. It seems like they were asked a question about a GA reunion and Nicola says they don't really feel like GA without Sarah, but Cheryl confirmed they were all talking about a 20th anniversary tour. Nicola also says they've all been talking a lot lately to organise things so it definitely seems there's more charity stuff coming up. It's a good start at least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
