Girls Aloud are reportedly set to reunite and release their first single in over a decade.
The group – starring Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts – will pay tribute to their late bandmate, Sarah Harding, with the track, according to insiders.
Sources tell The Sun: “This has been one of the best-kept secrets in pop, but it’s actually happening now.
“The girls really came back together as friends to rally around when Sarah died, and it repaired some of the old rifts and put things into perspective.
“Suddenly the reunion which had seemed totally impossible for so long just felt a totally natural thing to do — in Sarah’s honour.”
The four-piece apparently reunited at a North London studio to shoot the music video for the track, playing superhero characters complete with costumes and capes.
According to the report, the group plans to record more material before embarking on a tour in 2024.
“They’ve got a single and a video in the can, plans for a full record of new music, and for the fans the most exciting thing will be a massive reunion tour in 2024.
“It’s going to be huge — and they’re all very excited to be back working together, even if there is a bittersweet element to it.
“Of course, whatever they do, there will always be nods to Sarah’s contribution to the group, too.”
Sarah passed away in 2021 following a battle with advanced breast cancer. Girls Aloud last released music in 2012 with their compilation LP ‘Ten’, featuring the No. 2 single, Something New.
