Girls Aloud to Host Gala in Honor of Late Bandmate Sarah Harding

Girls Aloud are remembering Sarah Harding.

The four members of the British girl group – Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts – will honor the legacy of Sarah, who sadly passed away due to cancer at the age of 39 one year ago, with a fundraising gala called The Primrose Ball at The Londoner on Saturday, October 8 in London, England.

All proceeds will go to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Cancer Research UK on behalf of The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal.

The ladies of Girls Aloud will host the event, presented by Fearne Cotton, with performances by Olly Alexander, Ricky Wilson of Kaiser Chiefs and Chrissie Hynde.

There will also be a live auction hosted by Johnny Gould, including an original canvas depicting Sarah Harding by The Connor Brothers.

The event is named after one of her most famous Girls Aloud lyrics – “here I am walking Primrose” – from their No. 1 hit, “The Promise.”

“We are so grateful to The Londoner for hosting The Primrose Ball at their wonderful hotel. Charles Oak, Hotel Director of The Londoner and Sarah, had a very special bond and holding her gala evening there will make the night even more special. Our hope is to raise a huge amount of money that will hopefully prevent other people finding themselves in the same terrifying situation Sarah found herself in,” Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine and Nicola said in a statement.
