Kimberley Walsh has shared touching details about Girls Aloud's upcoming reunion and how the band plans to pay tribute to their late bandmate Sarah Harding while navigating motherhood and busy careers.
A Bittersweet Reunion
The 42-year-old singer revealed that while the iconic girl group is excited to reunite, their comeback will feel profoundly different without Sarah, who tragically passed away from breast cancer in 2021 at just 39 years old.
'It's going to be emotional,' Kimberley confessed during a recent interview. 'Sarah was such a huge part of our sound and our dynamic. There's no replacing that energy.'
Honouring Sarah's Legacy
The remaining members - Kimberley, Cheryl, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts - have been carefully planning how to incorporate Sarah's memory into their performances. While details remain under wraps, Kimberley hinted at special musical arrangements and visual tributes that would celebrate Sarah's vibrant spirit.
'We want to do this right,' she emphasised. 'For the fans, for ourselves, and most importantly, for Sarah.'
Juggling Motherhood and Music
Kimberley also spoke candidly about balancing the reunion with raising her three young sons - Bobby, Cole and Nate - with husband Justin Scott.
'The kids are at that amazing age where they're so excited about everything,' she shared. 'They think it's cool that mum was in a band, though I'm not sure they quite grasp how big Girls Aloud was!'
The singer admitted that parenting has given her a new perspective on returning to the spotlight: 'When you have children, everything takes on different meaning. This reunion isn't just about nostalgia - it's about showing them what strong women can achieve together.'
What Fans Can Expect
While remaining tight-lipped about specific plans, Kimberley promised the reunion would deliver everything fans loved about Girls Aloud while acknowledging how they've all grown since their Popstars: The Rivals days.
'We're not trying to recreate 2002,' she explained. 'We're women now with so much more life experience. The music will reflect that.'
Insiders suggest the tribute to Sarah will be tasteful yet impactful, celebrating her contribution to British pop music without overshadowing the group's triumphant return.
