Sarah Harding’s death was confirmed on Sunday, September 5, as her mother said the singer passed away “peacefully” following her battle with cancer.
Fans, friends and family members shared their loving tributes to the Girls Aloud singer, with her bandmate and Nadine Coyle leading the way with her tribute.
A week on, Nadine has shared another heartfelt post about her friend Sarah alongside a series of throwback snaps throughout their career.
Nadine wrote: “One week without you! Thinking of you all day every day and trying to imagine how your new journey is going. Please feel free to come visit me anytime.
“I know lots of people will want some Sarah spirit time so I can wait my turn.
“I hope you now know how much you are loved and how you impacted so many lives by being wholeheartedly yourself. Always an inspiration, always a shining light and always my friend.”
Nadine and Sarah famously had an incredibly close friendship over the years, with Sarah spilling on a fond memory in her book Hear Me Out.
She recalled spending the evening with Nadine after she received her cancer diagnosis in 2020, with the pair “crying and drinking wine together”.
Sarah wrote: “Ok, so it wasn’t like the nights of wild partying I did back in the day, but it was still very special.”
When Sarah publicly announced her diagnosis, Nadine commented: “I love you! You have always been able to achieve miracles when needed! I am for you all the way and always will be.”
Nadine was the first of the Girls Aloud members to share her tribute to her friend last week.
She wrote: “I am absolutely devastated! I can’t think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl and 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.”
In the days that followed the fellow Girls Aloud stars also shared tributes to their bandmate Sarah Harding, with Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh also following with loving memories of Sarah.
The girl group first formed in 2002, before splitting 2009, they reunited for a brief time between 2012 and 2013, before working on projects away from the band.
