Girls Aloud is set to reunite for a fundraiser in honor of their late colleague Sarah Harding, following her tragic death from cancer at the age of 39 last year. Nadine Coyle confirmed Monday that the band will meet for the first time since 2013, hoping to raise money for medical equipment that will save lives that could help diagnose cancer sooner.

The magazine, Nadine revealed: “We are planning an evening for an event to raise money in honor of Sarah. “It’s very much in the forefront of our minds.” “We want to raise money for a piece of medical equipment that helps diagnose cancer early so people can be cured. “We definitely want to do something to help others.” Emotionally: Nadine Coyle confirmed on Monday that the band will meet for the first time since 2013, hoping to raise money for life-saving medical equipment Nadine added that even seven months after Sarah’s death, her death still “deeply affects them”. The anniversary will be the first time the Girls Aloud appear together since 2013, when they divorced after celebrating their 10th anniversary. In February, Kimberley told MailOnline that there were no plans to reunite in the near future because none of them were “in this headspace right now.” He said: “It is amazing that we are approaching 20 years and there will be many memories for us personally as a team, and I am sure the four of us will look back on old memories. “But I think our heads are not able to do something like a band, it would not be right without Sarah. But yes, we will definitely recall many memories, it is amazing that so much time has passed. 20 years, it’s crazy! “ Tribute: Nadine (photographed with Sarah in 2012) added that her death still “deeply affects” them seven months after her death Kimberley added that for the other members, the occasion will be very painful, adding: “I feel like a big milestone for us, it will be very bittersweet. “But we will deal with it as best we can at that moment.” Nadine revealed last year that she believed she had received signs from her late Girls Aloud partner Sarah Harding, even when she was at home and “something flew off the shelf”. The singer, as she said, described the difficult period she endured “awfully” when Sarah died in September 2021. Speaking on The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTE Radio 1 in October, Nadine said she had returned to the Irish musical talent show Last Singer Standing where she believes Sarah sent her the signs of her presence.

Certainly there have been things, she has made her presence known a few times. As I was filming the show, he was right in the middle of it all and people were so kind. “There were a few days when the headphones just flew over the table and it happened for three days in a row and the makeup girls were saying, ‘This must be Sarah.’ “One night I was being taken home and something flew off the shelf. I was like, “Is this Sarah?” “I still think he will call.” Sarah died on September 5, 2021, with her death confirmed by her mother Maria in a statement posted on the star’s Instagram account, which stated that she “left peacefully” after the battle with cancer.
