In an exciting turn of events for fans of pop music, Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts have officially reunited as The Pussycat Dolls, announcing both a new song and a major tour to celebrate the group’s enduring legacy. This announcement, which comes on the heels of their latest single, titled “Club Song,” has sparked anticipation for a series of performances across North America, Europe, and the UK, set to take place between June and October 2026.

In a recent interview with Four Nine, the trio participated in a light-hearted segment where they took a “Bestie Test” to gauge their knowledge of one another. During this segment, they revealed that their least favourite song to perform is the 2009 track “Bottlepop.” Scherzinger, Wyatt, and Roberts broke into laughter when they simultaneously revealed their answers while joking about the song’s catchy nature. Despite the song being a hit among fans, Roberts quipped, “It is a banging track, but ooo honey!” Scherzinger solidified her love for other fan-favourites, mentioning her preference for songs like “Jai Ho,” “Buttons,” and “Don’t Cha.”
The reunion marks a significant milestone, especially as the original members celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pussycat Dolls’ debut album, PCD. However, the reunion has not occurred without some controversy. Notably absent from this revitalisation of the group are Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton. Both Bachar and Sutta have voiced their feelings about their exclusion from the current version of the group.
Bachar expressed her disappointment on Instagram, stating that she was never contacted regarding the reunion. “As an original member of The Pussycat Dolls, that chapter of my life will always hold profound meaning,” she wrote. She recognised the significance of the music they had created together and thanked fans for their continuous support. Bachar added that she found out about the reunion at the same time as the public, which she felt was an unfortunate lack of communication given her foundational role in the group.
Sutta, too, shared her sentiments, outlining her ongoing health issues that prevent her from returning to the dance floor. She clarified that she had long decided not to rejoin under the current circumstances and highlighted the difficulties of learning about the reunion news without prior discussion. “I simply would have appreciated a heads-up earlier,” she said, expressing her desire to have handled the situation with more grace.
The reactions from Bachar and Sutta created a palpable tension, and during a promotional appearance on the 3rd Hour of Today, Scherzinger appeared momentarily at a loss when asked about their comments. “We are so, as women today…” she began, before trailing off. Wyatt then sought to address the situation by stating how the group has evolved and acknowledged the varying line-ups over the years. She emphasised the importance of protecting their peace, especially when mending past ruptures within the group’s history.
Scherzinger reiterated her respect for all former members, saying, “Once a Doll, always a Doll.” She later admitted during a SiriusXM broadcast that she was the driving force behind this reunion, recalling how she initially approached Wyatt and Roberts about restarting the group. This transparency about her role indicates a desire to foster an inclusive atmosphere within the band while still maintaining a focus on their new chapter.
As the Pussycat Dolls prepare for what promises to be an electrifying reunion tour, the mixed emotions from former members remind fans about the complexities of group dynamics in the music industry. As they move forward with their plans, the remaining members seem committed to honouring the group’s past while also embracing the new opportunities that lie ahead.
With the launch of “Club Song,” the Pussycat Dolls aim to reinvigorate their presence in the music scene. While fans await further details about the tour, the excitement surrounding their reunion continues to build, showcasing the enduring appeal of this iconic girl group.
