Nicole Scherzinger is carrying on with her Pussycat Dolls tour after enduring a gnarly injury.
“Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set — But the show must go on,” Scherzinger, 48, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, September 27. “Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.”
Alongside the message, Scherzinger shared a gruesome image of her leg covered in blisters from the burn she sustained from the boiling water.
Scherzinger is currently traveling with Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt for the Pussycat Dolls’ latest world tour, PCD Forever, which began in June. Ahead of the tour’s inaugural show, most of the North American dates were canceled due to low ticket sales.
“When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world,” the group wrote via Instagram in May. “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.”
Us confirmed at the time that the OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride in June would host the only North American Pussycat Dolls show in 2026.
“The LGBTQ+ community has shown us so much love and support throughout our career, and we’re honored to be part of a weekend rooted in joy, pride, music and chosen family,” the group shared. “Our UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned, and the response has been incredible, with several shows already sold out.”
After several of the tour dates were canceled, a source exclusively told Us in May that Scherzinger is “disappointed” by the limited interest in the tour.
The Pussycat Dolls took the 2026 American Music Awards stage alongside iconic rapper Busta Rhymes after canceling the U.S. leg of their comeback tour. Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt performed with Rhymes, 54, for a rendition of their 2005 hit “Don’t Cha” during the Monday, May 25, awards show at the MGM Grand […]
“She was really excited to get back out there with Ashley and Kimberly to celebrate a new era, but now she feels they didn’t get a chance to showcase what they can do,” the insider said. “They went from not touring for over 15 years to booking big arenas like Madison Square Garden with only one new song to back it. They overestimated the demand.”
Earlier this month, Scherzinger was noticeably absent from the stage at the COS Torwar Arena while the others sang the hit track “Buttons” before later joining them in the performance. Her rep later explained the mishap in a statement.
“During a wardrobe change, there was an issue with Nicole’s in-ear pack, which meant an unexpected mid-show change was necessary,” the statement read. “Rather than the Dolls stopping the entire show and disappointing the fans, the decision was made to fully switch Nicole’s pack, and unfortunately, the change delayed her from joining the other Dolls in time.”
The statement added, “Nicole is devastated that the fans were let down in any way, and looks forward to coming back to Poland very soon to make it up to them.”
