Nicole Scherzinger, the powerhouse vocalist and frontwoman of the iconic noughties group The Pussycat Dolls, has sent the rumour mill into overdrive. The global superstar was photographed leaving a London gym wearing a very telling piece of jewellery: a delicate gold necklace bearing the famous 'PCD' logo.
The sighting has ignited fervent speculation among the band's devoted fanbase, known as the 'PCDennies', that a full-scale reunion could be on the horizon. This isn't the first time hopes have been raised; a planned reunion tour was previously scrapped, leaving fans heartbroken.
Scherzinger looked effortlessly stylish in a black tracksuit, but it was the subtle necklace that did all the talking. The 'PCD' initial pendant is a clear nod to the band that catapulted her to international fame with mega-hits like 'Don't Cha', 'Buttons', and 'Stickwitu'.
A History of On-Again, Off-Again Reunion Plans
The path to a Pussycat Dolls comeback has been fraught with false starts. After an electrifying performance on the UK's The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019, the original line-up announced a major arena tour. However, the pandemic brought those plans to a grinding halt.
Subsequently, a bitter legal dispute between Scherzinger and the group's creator, Robin Antin, emerged, seemingly putting the reunion to bed for good. Antin sued Scherzinger for allegedly derailing the tour, claims which Nicole strongly denied.
Fans React with Cautious Optimism
Upon seeing the new images, fans immediately flooded social media with excited comments. One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "PCD NECKLACE?? IS THIS A SIGN? MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT." Another commented: "She knows exactly what she's doing. This has to mean something! The comeback is on!"
The gesture is being widely interpreted as Scherzinger's way of teasing a potential resolution to the past conflicts and a new beginning for the group. Whether this is a genuine hint or simply a nostalgic fashion choice remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly succeeded in getting everyone talking.
For now, all eyes are on Nicole Scherzinger and her fellow Dolls – Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, and Carmit Bachar – awaiting an official announcement that could make every noughties music lover's dream come true.
