Pussycat Dolls Cancel Most North American Tour Dates

Three members of the 2000s girl group—the Pussycat Dolls—Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt announced their return earlier this year with a new single and world tour.

The group said that after taking an honest look at the North American section of the tour, they had made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the shows.

The European dates, including nine in the UK and Ireland, will go ahead as planned. The group said many of those shows have already sold out.

The US date that will still go ahead is the Dolls' appearance at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles on June 6. We could not think of a more meaningful place to celebrate with our fans, the group said in their statement. They added that the LGBTQ+ community has shown us so much love and support throughout our career.

They had been scheduled to play 33 dates in total in the US and Canada in June, July and August.

The Dolls also confirmed that the European dates, beginning in Copenhagen in September, would proceed. They said they were working towards making those shows unforgettable.

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, the trio said.

North American fans will be refunded automatically if their tickets were bought on Ticketmaster or AXS. Those who bought through third-party resellers have been told to contact their point of purchase.

The cancellation comes after a string of other big stars also pulled or delayed shows in the US in recent months, including Post Malone and Meghan Trainor.

Pussycat Dolls fans had been speculating in recent weeks that the US leg of the tour would be cancelled after venue seating charts showed large numbers of unsold seats.

High ticket prices, as well as the decision to tour the US in large arenas rather than theatres, are thought to have contributed to the poor performance.

However, ticket sales for the UK and European leg of the tour have been much healthier.

The group, known for hits like Buttons, Don't Cha and I Don't Need a Man, were particularly popular in Europe in their heyday. Roberts and Wyatt both now live in the UK.
