Next on the agenda, Cheryl sat down with her fellow Girls Aloud bandmates for a heartfelt interview about the future of their group. The interview, titled "The Girls Aloud Show: The Interview," was conducted by presenter Ben Shephard and was recorded on October 8, just a week before the tragic passing of Liam Payne.
The 20-minute interview provides a glimpse into the reunion of the popular 00s pop group, consisting of Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh, in honor of their late bandmate Sarah Harding. With their reunion now a reality, 41-year-old Cheryl reflected on what lies ahead for the group.
During the interview, Cheryl shared, "We're taking a moment to catch our breath. One thing I've learned in my infinite wisdom, at my ripe age, is that you can never say never." Nicola also chimed in, saying, "I don't think any of us could have predicted that we would be doing this tour. At one point, we didn't think it would be possible."
The pre-recorded interview was released ahead of the highly anticipated concert film, showcasing the band's incredible return to the stage. In the conversation, Nicola also expressed her gratitude for the group's strong comeback, despite their age. "The music industry is such a young place, and when you're young and surrounded by ageism, you believe that you could never achieve something like this at our age," she said.
And it's true, the Girls Aloud reunion has inspired countless people, including their own friends. Kimberley added, "I've had many friends tell me how much we've inspired them." Cheryl then added, "It's truly amazing that we can still do this, 22 years later."
The tour itself was a bittersweet tribute to Sarah Harding, who tragically passed away in 2021 after battling breast cancer. "Throughout the whole tour, we were very conscious of not making it too sad because Sarah was not a sad person. She was the most bubbly and lively one among us," Cheryl shared. "We wanted to keep her spirit alive and represent her, but not in a mournful way. The situation is already sad enough."
The band recently reunited and embarked on their tour, but Cheryl has been laying low since the passing of her ex-partner and One Direction star, Liam Payne. The pair shared a seven-year-old son, Bear. In October, Cheryl released a statement on social media, which was supported by her Girls Aloud bandmates.
"As I try to navigate this earth-shattering event and work through my own grief, I want to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being," she wrote. "Liam was not just a pop star or a celebrity; he was a son, a brother, an uncle, a dear friend, and a father to our 7-year-old son. A son who now has to face the reality of never seeing his father again."
Cheryl's heart has been heavy with the thought of her son, Bear, seeing certain reports and videos about his father. "Before you leave comments or make videos, ask yourself if you would want your own family or child to read them," she pleaded. "Please, in the wake of his death, give Liam the little dignity he has left and let him rest in peace. Thank you, Cheryl."
