There will be no purring in arenas this year because it has been confirmed that the Pussycat Dolls have canceled their hotly anticipated reunion tour.
Full story below…
A statement from the group’s lead singer Nicole Scherzinger cited “the ever-evolving circumstances” around COVID as the cause for the eventual axing of the trek.
Via Instagram Stories, she said:
Thank you to everyone who had tickets to see PCD – we are so appreciative of your support and loyalty!
With the ever-evolving circumstances surrounding the pandemic, I understand the decision that the tour dates had to be canceled.
I have invested a huge amount of time, creative energy, and my own finances into bringing this project back to life. And while I’m naturally incredibly saddened by this decision, I am also very proud of what we were able to achieve in the short amount of time we had together before COVID.
I can’t put into words the amount of love, admiration, and gratitude I have for the other girls in the group and the fans that have supported us.
Stay safe and healthy – love and blessings.
Nicole xo
While COVID continues to wreak havoc on the live entertainment circuit, PCD’s reunion tour was already hanging in the balance due to a legal wrangle between Scherzinger and Robin Antin – who initially founded the group in 1995 as a burlesque concept prior to its evolution into a recording ensemble.
The pair were at odds over ownership of the group and allegedly missing money.
Antin, who filed a lawsuit against the Scherzinger, claimed the singer thrust the tour into jeopardy after allegedly “demanding” a higher ownership percentage of the Dolls’ holding company and total creative control.
Scherzinger hit back hard alleging that Antin had misappropriated the tour sponsor’s funds and was filing suit to essentially point the finger in a direction other than her own.
The performer’s attorney issued the following statement at the time:
“Robin will fail in her efforts to trade on Nicole’s hard-earned success to pull herself out of a deep financial hole she has created by her own poor business and professional decisions.
Prior to Nicole’s involvement, trading on Nicole’s name without her consent, Robin borrowed (and spent) $600,000 from Live Nation that she won’t or can’t repay. Nicole has invested her own funds in excess of $150,000 in support of a potential PCD reunion that has now been made impossible by Robin’s actions (including the public release of the group members’ confidential financial information).
Nicole loves and respects the PCD fans and hopes to one day be back on stage performing the group’s amazing hits for them. Sadly, this will not happen under these circumstances.”
There’s no word yet on the status of the case. But what is now confirmed is that the Pussycat Dolls reunion tour is no more.
Sigh. Well, as least we got the bop that is ‘React’ out of what is unquestionably the muckiest of messes…
I’m over it.
Them and Danity Kane can’t get it together.
Instead of putting egos aside and getting this money…like I get the other girls WANT to sing, but how many of them actually can? They’re dancers. Pipe down and dance. Like nobody wants solo projects from any of them.
Despite that Nicole can sing, people don’t buy her music. And Melody doesn’t sell either (and won’t come back)
So keep it. I’m over getting excited and let down.
I Hate This Part, Stickwitu, Hush Hush…the PussyCat Dolls had HITS. They were up there with Spice Girls, in my book.
React should have done numbers by the way.
Tinashe, Sevyn and PCD were done wrong.
Everybody is waiting for RIhanna to “save music” but ignores the music put out.
Chile.
Oh pretty please… Nicole, everyone knows you can’t go solo. You are nothing without other dolls. Think twice!
AT LEAST DANITY KANE WAS ABLE TO REUNITE WITH A TOUR ALBUM THEN TOUR AGAIN WITH AN EP IN ADDITION
At least none of the dolls are looking like that blow up doll Aubrey💅🏾
DK couldn’t get all five members together on stage again if their lives depended on it! Hush
React is still a bop. Sorry that the song flopped. 💅🏾 I mean they still can release album or singles without going on tour.
React needed a make rap feature like ty dollar sign or tyga.
Nicole is still gonna keep doing her thing. Being a judge on talent shows and getting endorsements deals in the uk. The other girls I feel sorry for them.
Many of them are mums, so good for them.
I hope Nicole runs them some money since she’s allegedly why the reunion isn’t happening. I’m sure they’ll try again in 5 years and nobody will care
PussyFat Falls is nothing anyone cares about. Nicole Shitslinger can sing, but so what? They are basically strippers that don’t strip that lipsynch forgettable songs that haven’t aged well.
The statement sounds like the girls are over:-/
“…for the other girls in the group…” -Nicole
Lmaoooooooooooooo 🤣👀
RIP PCD and basically entertainment as we knew it
well we all saw that coming. but for once I actually think Nicole is not in the wrong – I think her previous mishaps and diva antics have made her an easy target for Robin Antin (who is just as messy if not more) to save face.
