I don't think I've ever had a celebrity death hit me so hard until now. I'm actually devastated and it's been playing on my mind all afternoon. We grew up with her, and all the girls, so it's just raw and shocking that this has now finally happened.

 

RIP Sarah, we love and miss you x

 

Same for me. Girls Aloud have always been such a special force for me, helping me through my own darkest times and just giving me so much joy. Their music, but also their personalities, have such a special place in my heart and I cannot stop thinking about Sarah. It's good to read so many stories and tweets about her, remembering her together and seeing all the fans coming together. She has achieved more in her life than most people could dream of and has such a legacy :wub:

Like most of us, I’m heartbroken. Can’t find the words right now so only here to express my love to Sarah and support everyone. This is just awful.
I'll Stand By You is currently charing at #23 and #36 on iTunes :(
such terribly sad news especially when we knew it was coming, 39 is far too young to have go through a terrible terminal illness. Girls Aloud were quality pop music and joyous, and I hope her family and friends and fans can take comfort in the good times and memories.
I just found out from logging on to buzzjack and seeing the top banner. My heart just sank :( Very sad news. My top memory of her on the TV is her coming across as an immensely strong woman on Celebrity Big Brother.

I've not been able to listen to any Girls Aloud songs today, every time I stop and think about this I start to fill up again and I don't think I could handle listening to the songs for a little while. The only time I've felt like this music wise was after my grandfather died and we played The best at his funeral because he once said when I was a child that he wanted me to sing it at his funeral despite the fact I am literally tone deaf. It took a while to be able to listen to the song again after, it was on my wedding day that I heard it again for the first time as a tribute to him.

 

Like so many Girls Aloud played a huge part in my teenage and young adult years. I was obsessed with Popstars the Rivals and I loved Sarah and Nicola from the show, I was championing those two to get into the band. I can remember when it came down to Sarah and Javine i was gutted as I was convinced (as I think was Sarah) that Sarah hadn't made it. Hearing her name called out was so lovely (and bittersweet as Javine herself was fab). I was never a boyband fan (apart from Blue) and always loved Girl bands so of course I was championing Girls Aloud from the get go. I remember making my dad take me to the shop to buy the single and I bought the one with the televisions and each girls face on it. I was obsessed with the song in a way I hadn't been with a girl group song since Spice Girls which is very fitting as Girls Aloud became my favourite after them. My sister actually got the album but I quickly stole it and played it to death I utterly loved it and still have such fond memories of playing Some kind of miracle to death... also All I need (all I don't) while pretending I was in a music video in the mirror. :lol: and making a dance routine for Stop which I performed over and over! When the re-release came out there was no chance my sister was getting it, that was MINE! :wub:

 

I went to see Girls Aloud for the first time on their What will the neighbours say tour with my mum and sister in Blackpool and I utterly loved it, I remember being captivated by Nadine and Sarah during it and buying a programme where they had their Wake me up outfits on I think. I didn't see them again until their Tangled Up concert at Harewood House. At this point I was in university and working full time also. I decided to take my sister again and buy her tickets for her birthday as I live very close to Harewood House. That was my favourite of all the GA concerts I have been to and it is one of my favourite memories with my sister we had such a wonderful time. Again I remember thinking Sarah was so amazing on stage she had incredible energy and clearly was having a ball up there. Although Nicola was my clear favourite by this point Sarah always had a special place in my heart, the band would not have been as cool without her in it, she was an iconic girl band member.

 

When the TEN tour came round it was my sister who surprised me with tickets this time as she was working part time herself and we went to Newcastle to see them. Although I wasn't as impressed with this show as the previous two it was still another really special moment for me to share with my sister and I always associate Girls Aloud and each of them with special memories with my sister now.

 

Last year one of my close friends was diagnosed with a brain tumour which has since become terminal and they are also living on borrowed time, so this has hit me particularly hard.

 

RIP Sarah you'll be sorely missed.

I really feel for you Spiceboy with the situation you're friend is in, I hope your friend gets as much time as they can and also quality comfortable time with family and friends. The awful news about Sarah I'm sure has hit you extremely hard.
Nadine post is so touching. Sardine was a thing, true friendship. I hope she’s ok. My thoughts to Sarah’s family and friends. ❤️

Thank you for those kind words.

Reading her Guardian obituary, it mentions that the Girls were planning a 20 year reunion for prior to her diagnosis... It'd be lovely if they followed that through in some way, with perhaps a montage alongside one of their songs for Sarah (or something along those lines)

 

I've had mixed feelings today. I was pretty numb to begin with, but then remembering the impact GA had on my late teens, and seeing them live at the TEN tour, hit me. Her Loving Kind bum note will forever be the gift that keeps on giving! RIP

Oh I hope not, I always found the Boyzone without Stephen very icky and tacky and I'd feel the same about Girls Aloud. I think it's a bit different when a member leaves or doesn't want to return as to when a member was there throughout and then dies so cannot be there but you know they 100% would have been. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't hold it against them if they did and would totally wish them the best of luck but I don't think I'd be having anything to do with it.

I've truly never been hit by a celebrity death this hard before, I found out before here on Buzzjack and am still struggling to process it. Like many others I grew up with Girls Aloud and still have all my CDs which are scratched from overuse and the McDonalds toy with Call The Shots on it, Sarah had more of an impact on our lives (and pop culture) than she could ever know. Unfortunately never got to see them live and rather selfishly am gutted I never will, as a five piece anyway. Glad Sarah lived such a fulfilled life despite still being so young. RIP Icon - if anyone ever finds out what 'walking Primrose' means (was it her dog?), please let me know x
