Nadine Coyle hopes Girls Aloud will reunite in honour of Sarah Harding next year.
The singer lost her battle with cancer in September and, while she still feels “raw” over the loss, Nadine believes it would be “nice” for fans to see her back on stage with Nicola Roberts, Cheryl, and Kimberley Walsh for their 20th anniversary.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “This last year or two has shown that life can change so quickly. It’s taught me life is too precious to be putting things off for the future.
“It is so surreal to me to think about Girls Aloud as a four. It is still raw. But it is our 20th anniversary next year and it would be really nice for the fans for us to do something.
“I am so proud of everything we achieved together as a band.”
While Nadine’s looking to the future, she admits in the short term Sarah’s death made her distance herself from music.
She said: “To be honest, for a long time it didn’t feel right recording pop music. Actually it hasn’t felt right doing anything really.
“I didn’t want to write music. I didn’t want to portray anything that was too happy or too upbeat because it just wasn’t the right thing to do.
“There was just so much suffering. I just focused on getting through the day-to-day stuff. I stayed off social media. I just wanted to be private and focus on my family and build myself up again.
“But I am starting to feel a little bit better and getting my strength back so we will see what happens. I am starting to get to the point where I want to do music again. I haven’t finished with my solo music.
“I will probably return to writing and recording music next year. I will take stock and see how it goes.”
Earlier this year, Sarah released her memoir ‘Hear Me Out‘, and shared the devastating news of her prognosis, confirming: “In December my doctor told me that the upcoming Christmas would probably be my last.”
However, Sarah said she was “trying to live and enjoy every second of my life, however long it might be”.
