In news that hardly comes as a surprise considering the recent drama, reports are mounting that the Pussycat Dolls are offically over as a group:
Ashley Roberts has reportedly admitted that the Pussycat Dolls have “broken up”.
The singer/dancer has allegedly told fans outside a hotel in London that the girl group have split, reports the Daily Mail.
Ashley Roberts said: “This is the last time we’ll be in the UK as a band. We’ve broken up. We’re sorry.”
The group’s future has been in question for months as lead singer Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly planned to launch a solo career. {Source}
I’m guessing a formal announcement is imminent. That said, the writing really was on the wall for these girls as a group a long time ago. I mean folks just weren’t feeling the group dynamic (1 singer and the others nameless extras) this go round – and rightfully so. Having Nicole at the forefront ALL THE TIME, when an able and arguablly better vocalist in the form of Melody was doing a whole lot of nothing in the background was unjustiable. Also a mess is the fact the other chicks (whose names elude me) didn’t get a chance to shine or develop either. It’ll be real interesting to see how this one plays out…particularly Nicole’s solo project – which is what seems to be at the heart of the drama. In the meanwhile, check out a recent Twitter post from member Melody which heavily suggests the end is nigh for PCD:
Melody
‘You know when you realise someone or something you have been involved in or with for a long time is completely beneath you and needs to be over! Yeah.’
Ouch…wonder who she was referring to? Whatever the case, these are not the words applicable to the what their PR team will undoubtedly call an ‘amicable’ or ‘peaceful split’. Hmmm…
Your thoughts?
