The Pussycat Dolls have cancelled all but one of their upcoming shows, issuing a shock statement about their tour.
Current group members Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts issued a joint statement on social media to confirm the news.
The group revealed that they had taken an “honest look” at their upcoming North American run and decided that only a scheduled performance at OUTLOUD Music Festival would go ahead.
“When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world,” the Pussycat Dolls’ statement read.
“After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates.”
The group reassured OUTLOUD attendees that their headlining performance would not be cancelled, saying they ”could not think of a more meaningful place to celebrate with our fans.”
“The LGBTQ+ community has shown us so much love and support throughout our career, and we’re honoured to be part of a weekend rooted in joy, pride, music, and chosen family,” continued the statement.

They went on to reassure fans that their scheduled UK and European run would go ahead as planned, and that the response for these shows had been “incredible” with many already selling out.
“We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time.”

Following the initial announcement of the tour and release of the group’s new single Club Song, fans were quick to notice the absence of three original members; Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton.
Shockingly, Bachar, 51, released a statement that claimed she “was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward” with a tour, and “learned of these plans at the same time as the public.”
She added that, given her role in forming the group, she “would have appreciated direct communication,” regarding their decision to embark on a reunion tour.
Sutta, 43, also spoke out about the move on social media, claiming she had only heard about the reunion the day before the the announcement.
“I was never planning to return under the current circumstances, and unfortunately I’m still unable to dance due to ongoing health issues,” she wrote.
“Because of that, the recent news was difficult for me.”
