Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has died aged 39. The singer revealed she had late stage breast cancer last year with the news of her death being announced by her mother earlier today.
Following the sad news, celebrities and friends of the singer have been paying tribute including Davina Mccall who said “So so sad to hear about Sarah … a star from the get go , hugely fun and outgoing yet also somehow fragile , … love to her family and friends.”
Good Morning Britain Presenter Alex Beresford posted “Such sad news to hear the passing of Sarah Harding. Had the pleasure of meeting her a few times and sat down to interview her once. On all occasions she was so lovely. A tragic loss to breast cancer. RIP xxx”
After going public with her diagnosis, Harding revealed in her memoir, Hear Me Out, that “In December my doctor told me that the upcoming Christmas would probably be my last. I don’t want an exact prognosis. I don’t know why anyone would want that.”
Former Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle posted her tribute on Instagram saying: “I am absolutely devastated!! I can’t think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl & what she means to me!! I know so many of you will be feeling this way. For now I’m sending so much love to you!!!”
