Cheryl had quite the comical mishap on stage during a recent Girls Aloud concert. It was a total bummer for poor Cheryl as the group performed in Dublin for their latest tour. The band, consisting of Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh, kicked off their highly-anticipated reunion tour last week. This tour is especially meaningful as they pay tribute to their late bandmate, Sarah Harding, who tragically passed away from breast cancer in 2021.
As expected, the show was full of epic choreography, stylish outfits, and incredible production. And let's not forget about the dreamy set list, which included hits like "Sound Of The Underground" and "Something New." One particular song that was performed was the 2007 banger "Sexy! No No No," which was released in, you guessed it, 2007.
During this song, the group reenacts the iconic music video where they stand on platforms wearing long, red skirts that inflate. Well, in theory they inflate. But unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. And in this case, Cheryl's balloon skirt didn't get the memo in Ireland. Fan footage quickly made its rounds on social media, capturing the blunder.
While the rest of the band's skirts swayed gracefully in the wind, Cheryl's remained limp and lifeless. But in true Girls Aloud fashion, Cheryl was able to laugh off the mishap. She even shared a fan's TikTok video on her Instagram, with the hilarious caption "Justice for Cheryl's inflatable skirt." The video was cleverly edited with audio from a 2006 episode of the band's docuseries, "Girls Aloud: Off the Record," where Cheryl complained about wearing her own clothes for press while the rest of the group was dressed by the stylist.
But at least Cheryl can laugh at herself! Fans of Girls Aloud were also living for the mishap, with the original TikTok gaining over 180,000 views. Comments flooded in, with one user writing, "perfect use of the 'Off the Record' sound clip," and another saying, "this is absolutely brilliant."
The tour has only just begun and it's already been an emotional rollercoaster for the group. As they take the stage to honor Sarah Harding, who was a dear friend and bandmate to all, the tears flow freely. During their performance of "I'll Stand By You," Cheryl was moved to tears while a montage of Harding's pictures played in the background.
The tour, which is dedicated to Harding, also features a touching tribute where the four remaining members start to perform their hit song "The Promise" before turning their backs to the audience to watch footage of Harding singing the song alone. It's a beautiful moment that truly captures the love and bond between the girls.
It's no surprise that the group has been through a lot since bursting onto the scene in 2002 after winning "Popstars: The Rivals." They went on to achieve four UK number one singles and even won a Brit Award. After a brief hiatus, they reunited in 2012 for their 10th anniversary. And now, as they approach their 20th anniversary, they have once again come together to honor their beloved friend and bandmate.
Before hitting the road for their first show since Harding's passing, the official Girls Aloud X account shared a post stating, "Rehearsals? Done. Choreography? Ready. Outfits? Fitted. Girls? Aloud." It's clear that the band has put in a lot of hard work to make this tour special for their fans.
And it's not just about the music, but also the memories and moments that they have shared together. The tour will continue in cities across the country, including London, Liverpool, and Manchester. As fans eagerly await their chance to see Girls Aloud live, they can expect a show full of nostalgia, epic performances, and most importantly, a celebration of Sarah Harding's life and legacy.
