Girls Aloud were given a sentimental gift by Sarah Harding before she died Girls Aloud have revealed the touching gifts given to them by late bandmate Sarah Harding before she died. Harding lost her life in 2021 at the age of 39 after being diagnosed with breast cancer, devastating the band and their army of adoring fans. Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh are now touring the country with all their pop hits in a show dedicated to Harding and honouring her legacy.
The stone was a gift from Harding before she died, with Kimberley admitting she thought they all said the same thing before Nadine revealed hers says ‘hope.’ Meanwhile, Nicola’s had a rather cheeky meaning, given how she was always portrayed as the grump one in the group. ‘She brought a pouch with these stones in and we all picked one and I was last and mine – and this is hilarious – says “smile”,’ said the Liverpudlian singer as the rest of the girls cackled.
