I was never a Girls Aloud fan - I think I was just that bit too old for their demographic in 2002 - but I did hear some of the songs out & about. I remember hearing that Sarah had breast cancer & that she sadly died in Sept 2021, so when I saw that my local library had Sarah's autobiography available for download, I decided to give it go. It's a strange read, with the feeling you have when Sarah is talking about being positive & hopefully beating her illness, & yet you know it ultimately claimed her life.
There's obviously quite a bit about her life in Girls Aloud, but the other members of the band are fairly shadowy figures. I don't feel as if I got to know any of them more, even the author. I didn't realise what a struggle Sarah had had from the start, & just how bad things had become with her illness. Yet another person taken from us tragically too young. RIP.
