Don't cha love a Pussycat Dolls reunion?
After two days of cryptic Instagram posts featuring the words "PCD Forever," the Pussycat Dolls announced on March 12 that they are back for their first tour in 17 years.
The version of the group that will embark on the 53-date "PCD Forever Tour" across Europe and North America will be made up of three members, compared to the six-woman lineup that originally comprised the Pussycat Dolls before they disbanded in 2010. Lil' Kim and Mya will also appear as special guests.
Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger and Kimberly Wyatt announced on British radio show "Heart Breakfast" March 12 that the trio version of the group is ready to take the stage. Original members Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton are not part of the upcoming tour.
"I have a big announcement," Roberts said. "Now, I'm not here alone. I have brought some of my friends that you might have heard before."
Scherzinger and Wyatt then joined her on the show.
"And we're going on tour," Scherzinger said.
Scherzinger spent 2023 through 2025 starring as Norma Desmond in an acclaimed London and Broadway production of "Sunset Boulevard," which earned her a Tony award.
"After I dedicated my every waking breath to theater over the past three years, I was like, 'This is amazing, this is so triumphant. And now I miss my girls, and I miss touring, so yeah we should do a world tour. That sounds about right,'" she said.
Wyatt is a reality star and actor who has become a mom of three children since the Pussycat Dolls initially disbanded.
"Those three kids, who are on the school run right now, and I did promise them: Willow, Maple, Senna, mommy loves you!" she said on the show. "And she's a Pussycat Doll again!"
The new tour comes seven years after the Pussycat Dolls' last performance in 2019, when they reunited during the season finale of “The X Factor: Celebrity." That version of the group also included Sutta and Bachar. They released the single "React!" as part of the reunion show.
At the time, they announced a nine-date reunion tour in 2020, which was ultimately scrapped due to the pandemic.
Famous for songs like "Don't Cha," "Buttons" and "Stickwitu," the latest iteration of the Pussycat Dolls released the new single "Club Song" to coincide with the tour announcement.
“After 20 years, you’re like, ‘Where is everybody?’ But for us, it aligned," Scherzinger told the BBC. "People are in different places in their lives, some of the other people have different commitments and priorities, but this worked out for us.”
Roberts told the BBC that it was Scherzinger who sparked the reunion by reaching out to her and Wyatt.
“We had some conversations, and we were just like, ‘We’re on the same page, we’re excited about embracing where we’re at now as women and celebrating that,'” she said. "I’m just really excited to get back on stage and swing these hips around in some latex, hun!”
The Pussycat Dolls' two albums, "PCD" and "Doll Domination," are also being reissued with an extended track mix and new remixes, according to the group's website.
