Will Cheryl Cole and the girls be getting back together for a world tour in 2012? Rumors are abound across the internet and news services that the girl bad are planning to take to the stage again as soon as 2012.

It is alleged that the girls will be looking to get back together as Girls Aloud on the back of the success of fellow band mate Cheryl Cole who is doing well across the pond and breaking into the US music scene.

According to the Daily Star newspaper Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh are said to be preparing themselves for the tenth anniversary of the band and are looking to go on tour to mark the anniversary.

A source close to the band told the paper: “Early next year is penciled in for the reunion tour. It's going to be absolutely massive.”

The source added: “Cheryl could be a US superstar by then if her appearance in American X Factor goes according to plan this autumn, so they want to capitalise on that. It will also be the band's 10 year anniversary in 2012, so the timing is perfect.”

“And with Sarah's wedding being the showbiz marriage of the year, the girls will be back at the height of their fame again,” continued the source who did not wish to be named.
