The highly anticipated reunion tour of the Pussycat Dolls unfortunately never came to fruition. Member Kimberly Wyatt recently shared an update on the status of the 00s band's reunion, revealing that staying in touch with lead singer Nicole Scherzinger has been challenging.
As one of the founding members of the group, Kimberly, along with Carmit Bachar, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton, shot to fame in the early 2000s before the band split in 2010. Fans were ecstatic when news of a reunion tour in 2020 was announced, but unfortunately, it was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.
In a recent interview on the Mile Fly Club podcast, Kimberly shared that she is still in contact with group founder Robin Antin and the other girls, but it has been difficult to plan with Nicole, who is often elusive and busy. "It's hard to find out what she wants to do next and where she stands with the group," Kimberly explained.
The cancelled tour also had a significant impact on Kimberly's personal life, as she had to give up other work opportunities to commit to the tour in the first place. "You end lots of your work to open up all this space to go on the road, so when it all comes crashing down, it was panic mode," she shared. "Three young kids, paying school fees and all these things – it changed our world. We've had to rejig our entire life because of it."
Despite the setbacks, Kimberly still sees a future for the Pussycat Dolls. However, as she does not have the power to make decisions for the group, she can only hope for opportunities to bring the girls back together. "That is not my choice to make as I don't own the group," she clarified. "But the brand could. I don't know what the future of the Pussycat Dolls holds, and I don't know if I have the power to make anything happen, but I'm always looking for opportunities to bring the girls back together."
The Pussycat Dolls were originally formed in 1995 by choreographer Robin Antin as a dance troupe. They later evolved into a pop group and signed a record deal in 2003. Their debut single, "Sway," was featured in the soundtrack of the 2004 film Shall We Dance? The band went on to sell over 55 million records worldwide, with hits like "Buttons," "Stickwitu," and "When I Grow Up."
Despite their success, the Pussycat Dolls also faced internal conflicts, mainly due to the prominent role of lead singer Nicole and the lack of attention given to other members. Carmit left the group in 2008, and the band's final tour took place in 2009. In 2019, the Pussycat Dolls announced their reunion tour, with Carmit rejoining the group but with Melody not returning.
Their first reunion performance was on The X Factor: Celebrity finale, where they performed a medley of their hit songs. However, the performance received over 400 Ofcom complaints due to their "risque" outfits. The tour was rescheduled multiple times due to the pandemic but was ultimately cancelled by Nicole in 2022.
Despite the disappointment, the Pussycat Dolls will always hold a special place in the hearts of their fans. And who knows, maybe one day they will reunite again. As for now, we can only wait and see. Got a story?
