nadine has a ball
NADINE Coyle put the disappointment of her cancelled solo tour behind her to give a dazzling performance at the annual Manchester Pride Spring Benefit ball.
Singing star Nadine wowed fans and guests at the glitzy charity ball at Manchester’s Midland Hotel with her solo hits as well as stomping classics from her days as part of girlband sensation Girls Aloud.
She performed at the close of the Alice in Wonderland themed ball, where guests included Coronation Street stars Daniel Brocklebank and Dolly-Rose Campbell, Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace, X Factor singer Lucy Spraggan, Real Housewives of Cheshire It girls Taylor and Darby Ward and compere and DJ Gok Wan.
It gave fans a taster of what to expect when Nadine performs a full set at Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend on the August Bank Holiday weekend in the city centre.
Nadine pulled her planned 7-date UK solo tour, which included a gig at Manchester’s Ritz, earlier this month, much to the disappointment of fans.
She told the M.E.N. about that decision now: “Sometimes it can’t happen... you’d rather it be the show you want it to be than rather it be not so good.
“You want everybody to come along and think wow that was amazing rather than going that was a bunch of **** I wish I’d stayed at home and watch TV to be fair!”
“I had to make that call at the end of the day... I was spoiled coming from Girls Aloud where our standard of shows were so high in arenas, but I’m not quite at that level myself yet. So you have to go and work out what you can do and what’s possible. And at this particular time what we envisaged wasn’t possible.”
There was a lot of speculation after the tour was pulled that it may mean a Girls Aloud reunion announcement - but Nadine said that’s sadly not on the horizon.
She said: “People were calling me at home and saying: ‘are you getting back with the girls is that why you’re not doing the tour?’ and I was like: ‘NO’
In 2022 it will be the 20th anniversary of the band forming which many hope will mean a big reunion tour.
Nadine laughed: “That’s a long way away yet!
“We’ll see.”
