Pussycat Dolls Reunite for Major Comeback Amidst Internal Feud
The iconic pop group The Pussycat Dolls have announced a sensational return to the music scene, but the reunion has been marred by controversy as former members reveal they were not included in the plans. Stars Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt made a striking appearance after performing on The One Show, promoting their upcoming PCD Forever tour, which spans 53 dates across the UK, Europe, and North America. However, the excitement has been overshadowed by a bitter feud, with ex-members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta claiming they were blindsided by the reunion.
Stylish Departure from BBC Studios
Following their first performance together in years, the trio commanded attention as they left BBC Studios. Nicole Scherzinger, aged 47, looked sensational in a busty black strapless corset paired with pleated balloon trousers and gold heels, accessorising with a leather coat, gold necklace, and chunky earrings. Ashley Roberts, 44, wowed in a daring black PVC co-ord featuring a strapless crop top and matching trousers, wrapped in a long leather coat with a bold fur collar. Kimberly Wyatt, also 44, cut a stylish figure in a knitted grey outfit, braving the British weather with a fur coat and thigh-high boots. The trio were all smiles, posing for selfies with waiting fans before departing.
Massive Tour Announcement and New Single
The Pussycat Dolls, previously a six-piece band, have dropped a new single and unveiled details of their extensive comeback tour. The PCD Forever tour includes dates in major cities such as London, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, with special guests Lil' Kim and Mya joining on select shows. Tickets for the UK and Europe will be available for pre-sale from Wednesday, March 18th, with general sales starting on Friday, March 20th. This marks their first global tour in 17 years, following a brief reunion in 2019 that was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Feud Erupts Over Exclusion of Former Members
Despite the celebratory atmosphere, a bitter feud has erupted behind the scenes. Carmit Bachar, 51, and Jessica Sutta, 43, have publicly stated that they were not asked to participate in the reunion and only learned about it alongside the public. Carmit reposted a video from the group's former producer, Eddie Serrano, who criticised the three-piece reunion, saying, 'We need to see them as a unit, not just as three girls... that's just the 'Pussy' without the 'Dolls.'' Jessica Sutta revealed in social media posts that she and Carmit were excluded from planning that had been ongoing for a year, sharing cryptic messages about betrayal and healing.
History of the Band and Previous Reunion Attempts
The Pussycat Dolls first disbanded in 2010, with Kimberly Wyatt citing creative limitations. Nicole Scherzinger pursued a solo career, and the group briefly reunited as a five-piece in 2019, releasing the single 'React'. A planned tour for 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic. Speculation about a comeback grew last month when the trio were spotted together at a London restaurant. Former member Melody Thornton, 41, has remained silent on the current reunion, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the band's dynamics.
As fans eagerly await the tour, the internal discord highlights the challenges of reuniting a beloved group after years apart. The Pussycat Dolls' comeback promises high-energy performances and nostalgic hits, but the feud raises questions about the future of the band's legacy and relationships among its members.
