The Pussycat Dolls are reforming for a reunion tour kicking off in Dublin next year, the American girl band said.
###
A decade after they split, the group — originally formed as a burlesque dance troupe and known for songs like ‘Don’t Cha’ and ‘When I Grow Up’ — will hit the stage from April in Dublin before putting on shows around Britain.
###
“The stars have aligned and the Dolls are getting back together,” singer Nicole Scherzinger told Britain’s Heart Breakfast radio show in a joint interview with fellow band members Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Kimberley Wyatt.
###
“There’s been unfinished business. It’s been 10 years… we just all were ready to do it,” Roberts said.
###
Asked if they felt differently from when they first started, Roberts — who is also a showbusiness reporter for Heart Breakfast — said: “A lot of time has passed and… we’ve matured, we’ve grown up, we’ve gained life tools, life experience.”
###
The woman who first got them together, choreographer Robin Antin, had long called for a reunion. Fellow member Melody Thornton, who was not present during the interview, will not be part of the touring line-up, several media outlets reported.
###
“We’re focused on the tour right now and … stretching,” said Scherzinger, who in recent years has regularly appeared as a judge on British talent show ‘The X Factor’. “We are working on new music and a lot of new surprises for the show.”
