The Pussycat Dolls are putting the brakes on a major part of their upcoming PCD Forever tour.
Nearly two months after Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt announced a 53-date tour of North America, Europe and the U.K., The Pussycat Dolls confirmed several dates have been canceled. (The Pussycat Dolls previously canceled a 2022 reunion tour, citing the coronavirus pandemic.)
“When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world,” the group wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 4. “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 latest tour, featuring special guests Lil’ Kim and Mýa, was initially scheduled to kick off on Friday, June 5, at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, before concluding at The O2 arena in London on October 13.
Us Weekly can confirm the OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride on Saturday, June 6, will be host to 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.”
The tour announcement was initially met with controversy as some former members, including Carmit Bachar, Melody Thornton and Jessica Sutta, were not part of the schedule.
During an interview on NBC’s Today show, Wyatt, 44, explained the reasoning behind the decision.
“I mean, it has been an ever-changing lineup and you know, this is what it looks like now in 2026, and you never know what comes next,” she told Craig Melvin. “I think ultimately we’ve got to protect our peace and when something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we have ruptured in the past, and right now we are repairing, and we’re sort of on the same page with that.”
Scherzinger, 47, added, “We have so much love and respect for all of the women that have been part of the PCD legacy. And once a doll, always a doll.”
In a separate interview, Sutta, 43, shared her theory as to why she was not part of the upcoming tour.
“I was a liability,” Sutta claimed on a March episode of “The Mavericks Approach” podcast. “I align with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA. Do I love what [President Donald] Trump is doing? Absolutely not. I do not believe in war. [But] we didn’t have a chance for the [vaccine] injured community to get help without him.”
For Scherzinger, who recently had success in the hit West End and Broadway productions of Sunset Boulevard, winning the Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 2025, the chance to sing the Pussycat Dolls’ biggest hits once again was something she was very much looking forward to.
As she’s learned in her career, however, one can never stick to just one thing.
“As an artist, you can’t be bound to one thing, you want to do it all, and it’s just so great to be able to come back, and I did miss the girls,” she told the BBC in March. “I’m very proud of our group, our legacy, our music. So I was like, ‘Well, I just did the West End and Broadway, now it’s time for a world tour.’ Dolls unite!”
