On March 8, 2024, Girls Aloud will release a special deluxe edition of "What Will The Neighbors Say?"
The group's second album, which was released in November 2004-nearly twenty years ago-featured hits including "Jump" and "Love Machine."
Three previously unheard songs that were recorded 20 years ago and are now officially available for the first time are included in the new edition.
It features two brand-new songs from the Girls Aloud vault, Disco Bunny and Baby When You Go, along with a cover of the Chris Isaac classic Wicked Game.
B-sides Androgynous Girls and History are also featured, along with a rare TV performance, covers, and edits of the band's biggest singles.
Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh have announced that they will be touring in May and June of 2024 to commemorate this month's 21st anniversary of their victory in Popstars: The Rivals alongside the late Sarah Harding.
The trio wants to honor their back catalog rather than releasing any new music.
Cheryl disclosed that although they had been talking about the plans for a while, they shelved the idea after Sarah's breast cancer diagnosis in September 2021.
he said in a statement: "We all started talking about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud's 20-year anniversary a few years ago. The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing that we would celebrate.
"But when Sarah fell ill all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn't feel right, it felt too soon.'
The group plan to use the tour to "celebrate" their late friend.
Cheryl added: "But now, I think there is an energy that does makes it feel right. It's the right time to celebrate Sarah, it's the right time to celebrate the band and the right time to celebrate the fact we can still do this 21 years later. That's a big honour in lots of ways.'
Kimberley said: "Over the last year, we've felt this outpouring of love - obviously towards Sarah, but actually towards all of us as a group.
"And I guess it's ignited something in all of us again. It feels like something has changed and it does feel like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20-year anniversary that we didn't celebrate at the time.'
The group hope fans will enjoy the tour just as much as them.
Nadine said: "Girls Aloud are a band that made such a huge impact on people's lives. We grew up with the band, but so did so many other people.
"So for us not to do something again feels like such a shame and a waste. We want to have that moment with fans where we can all enjoy it together."
According to sources, Girls Aloud and their former manager got into a fight after she was excluded from their 2024 reunion. In honor of bandmate Sarah Harding, the musical singers Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, and Nicola Roberts announced last year that they will be starting a 30-date tour. However, reports claim that when they hired a team from Fascination Management, prior manager Hilary Shaw, who founded the organization in 2005, was taken aback.
According to one source, "Hilary was the driving force behind Girls Aloud from 2005 on, and was heavily involved in their 2012 comeback. So the decision to exclude her from plans for the 2024 tour felt like a real snub. She's told pals she's heartbroken. She put huge effort into the girls' success and it paid off over and over. Now, it seems, she's out in the cold."
