In a dramatic turn of events, Nicole Scherzinger, the acclaimed Tony Award winner and lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, was faced with an unfortunate injury just before taking the stage for a performance in Düsseldorf, Germany. The incident occurred on 26 September when the 48-year-old singer suffered burns from boiling water, less than an hour before her performance at the PSD Bank Dome.
Scherzinger shared her experience with fans via her Instagram Stories, posting a candid photo of her injured leg, which had significant burns and blisters. Alongside the image, she posted, “Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set — But the show must go on. Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.”
The Pussycat Dolls, who have recently reunited following Scherzinger’s successful Broadway stint as Norma Desmond in *Sunset Boulevard*, are currently on their PCD Forever Tour. After its highly publicised return to the stage, the tour was initially met with a setback, leading to the cancellation of its North American leg in May due to disappointing ticket sales.
In a heartfelt message to their fans, the group announced the difficult decision on social media. “Dolls: We want to share an important update with you. When we announced the PCD Forever Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world. 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,” they stated.
Despite these challenges, the group maintained a positive outlook for their U.K. and European shows. They noted that response from fans across the continent has been overwhelmingly positive, with numerous performances already sold out. “We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories,” they added, emphasising that preparations for the upcoming concerts are proceeding as planned.
The reunion of the Pussycat Dolls has not been without its controversies. Notably, original members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta were vocal about their exclusion from the reunion plans. Bachar, 52, expressed her disappointment in an Instagram statement, revealing that she only learned of the reunion through public channels, despite her significant contributions to the group’s formation and success. Meanwhile, Sutta, 44, cited ongoing health issues as a reason for not returning, remarking, “I was never planning to return under the current circumstances.”
In March 2026, Scherzinger, alongside her reunion bandmates Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, addressed the media about the group’s comeback, acknowledging the varied history of the line-up. Wyatt commented on the ongoing evolvement of the group, stating, “It has been an ever-changing lineup, and this is what it looks like now in 2026. You never know what comes next.” The trio expressed a desire to focus on their joint peace and celebrate the group’s legacy.
As the PCD Forever Tour progresses, the remaining performances promise to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans. The last show is scheduled for 30 October in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the end of this latest chapter in the Pussycat Dolls’ storied career.
For fans and followers, Scherzinger’s resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to the dedication she has towards her craft and her audience. With the tour partially affected by unforeseen incidents, the singer remains committed to bringing joy to fans and celebrating their musical journey together.
