The camp and chaotic Girls Aloud interview you’ve been waiting for
The unfiltered pop icons we saw in Off the Record are back… As tickets for their tour go on sale, we chat with Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts about their return, campest career moments and their memories of Sarah Harding.
WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO SIMON JONES ‘Deceased, bodies hanging out of bins and Soho is no more,’ is how Nicola Roberts’ best friend (quite accurately) described the limp-wrist population’s reaction to the return of Girls Aloud.
On 22 November, the pop giants announced a 2024 tour in celebration of their groundbreaking discography and to honour the late, self-described “wild child” Sarah Harding, who sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2021.
Between 2002 and 2012, Girls Aloud annihilated the UK charts with a record-breaking twenty consecutive top ten singles – including four chart-toppers – with their innovative Xenomania-assisted approach to pop transforming the musical landscape of the noughties.
