THE Pussycat Dolls have axed their North American reunion tour after failing to sell enough tickets.
The girl group, featuring Nicole Scherzinger, 47, Ashley Roberts, 44, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44, were due to launch their comeback with 33 dates across the US and Canada, starting in Palm Desert, California, on June 5.

But the trio’s concerts will no longer be going ahead.
They struggled to sell tickets despite slashing prices to $30, and several dates still had as much as 80 percent of the seats available.
Rehearsals were due to start last month but were delayed and had not formally started before the plug was pulled.
However, they will go ahead with the European leg of the PCD Forever tour, which is due to begin in Copenhagen on September 9.

It will see the group perform arena concerts in Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and London.
Insiders insist their ticket sales have been far better in Europe than in North America, with shows in Warsaw and Paris already sold out.
The cancellation is another setback for the girl group, who also cancelled their last reunion tour.
They announced in 2019 that they were launching a comeback as a five-piece along with former members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta, with shows across the UK, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
However, it was delayed due to Covid and was eventually axed due to a disagreement between frontwoman Nicole and the band’s founder Robin Antin, on which they reached a confidential settlement last September following a lawsuit.
The Dolls, who had eight Top Ten hits including No1s Don’t Cha and Stickwitu between 2005 and 2009, announced their return as a trio in March when they dropped their new single Club Song.

But they ruffled feathers by not telling their former bandmates Carmit, 51, and Jessica, 43, about the reunion, or inviting them to take part.
Carmit said at the time: “I was not contacted regarding the group’s decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.
“Given my history with the brand, having been part of its foundation long before its commercial debut and instrumental in the connections that led to the record deal… I would have appreciated direct communication.”
Kimberly said: “The Pussycat Dolls have always been known for an ever-changing line-up.
“It just so happens that right now we’re in a space where we feel united and in a place where we’re ready to push forward. And this is the line-up now, for 2026, but you never know with the Pussycat Dolls what might come next.”
