CHERYL has opened up about the death of her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding, saying she "wasn't ready to leave". The singer, 39, has spoken candidly about her close friend and admitted her passing has made her think differently about her own life.
Sarah died from breast cancer in September 2021 aged 39 and Cheryl is now determined to live her life "with her in mind". Cheryl told Mail Online: "A lot of conversations we had before she left really sparked a different perspective for me, and I'll carry that. "She wasn't ready to leave and I think, 'Well I'm still here'.
I've got the gift of life to still live, and I'll do it with her in mind. It does shift a lot of things in your own heart." Cheryl found fame alongside Sarah, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Nadine Coyle on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.
