The Pussycat Dolls have pulled the plug on most of their North American reunion tour dates, citing the need to reassess after what they described as an “honest look” at the rollout. The decision, announced via Instagram, leaves just one U.S. appearance on the schedule, marking a major shift for a comeback that had been building momentum earlier this year.

According to Variety, the group confirmed the cancellation while acknowledging the difficulty of the move. “When we announced the PCD Forever Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world,” the message read. “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 lone remaining performance is set for WeHo Pride in Los Angeles, a booking the group framed as a meaningful way to still connect with U.S. audiences.

While the Dolls did not explicitly reference ticket sales in their cancellation announcement, the broader industry trend has been defined by soft demand for large-scale arena runs. Their European leg, however, remains intact, with the group noting a strong response overseas and several dates already sold out.

The current lineup—Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt—had recently been promoting the reunion following years of delays due to the pandemic and a legal dispute with founder Robin Antin, which was settled in 2024.

The trio also re-entered the conversation cycle with new music and press appearances, revisiting moments from their peak era. During one recent interview, Wyatt confirmed a long-rumored connection to Britney Spears, revealing that Spears was originally set to appear in the “When I Grow Up” video.

“When we turn and we wave it was going to be Britney we were waving to,” Wyatt said, adding that the cameo was ultimately removed before release.

The Pussycat Dolls opened for Spears on her 2008 Circus tour while promoting Doll Domination. After disbanding in 2010, reunion plans have surfaced more than once, including a 2020 tour that never materialized.
