Girls Aloud, whose plans for a reunion were shattered by the cancer death of Sarah Harding in 2021, will now go out on a UK and Ireland tour next year.

The group — Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh, and Nadine Coyle — made the announcement on their 21st anniversary. The tour will not feature new music, but will be a greatest hits presentation.

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding died in September 2021 of breast cancer at 39 years old.

Girls Aloud are Britain’s biggest-selling girl group of the 21st Century, selling 4.3 million singles and four million albums. They scored 21 UK top 10 singles between 2002-2012, including four number ones.

“The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing that we would celebrate,” said Tweedy. “But when Sarah fell ill all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon.

“It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the band and the right time to celebrate the fact we can still do this 21 years later. That’s a big honor in lots of ways.”
