Pussycat Dolls cancel US tour amid disappointing ticket sales

Pussycat Dolls have announced that their US outing has been called off.

Although the group did not specifically cite ticket sales as the reason for bowing out of the dates, no other excuses were offered.

"Dolls: We want to share an important update with you," the group's social media message began.

"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."

The lone US gig still on the agenda is West Hollywood's official annual LGBTQ+ celebration on 6 June.

Nicole Scherzinger is returning to the pop arena after her Tony-winning run as Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. on Broadway, alongside two other original Dolls, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts.

"Our UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned, and the response has been incredible, with several shows already sold out," the group's statement continued.

"We cannot wait to bring this reunion to Europe and make these nights unforgettable."

Pussycat Dolls join a recent spate of tour cancellations in the wake of weak ticket sales. Post Malone, Zayn Malik and Meghan Trainor are among several big names to call off part or all of their tours.
