Kimberly Wyatt opens up about cancelled Pussycat Dolls reunion
Kimberly Wyatt lost money when The Pussycat Dolls reunion was cancelled.
The 42-year-old singer shot to fame as part of the 'Don't Cha' hitmakers in the early 2000s but plans for them to tour again in 2020 were ultimately cancelled following the COVID-19 pandemic and now she has admitted that she had to give up a lot of her own work to commit to it in the first place.
Speaking on the 'Mile Fly Club' podcast, she explained: "You end lots of your work to open up all this space to go on the road, so when it all comes crashing down it was panic mode.
“Three young kids, paying school fees and all these things – it changed our world.
“We’ve had to rejig our entire life because of it.”
The 'When I Grow Up' hitmaker - who has Willow, nine, Maple, six, and Ford, four with husband Max Rogers - also noted that she can see a future for the band, but has "no power" in whether that actually happens or not.
She said: "That is not my choice to make as I don’t own the group. But the brand could. I don’t know what the future of the Pussycat Dolls holds, and I don’t know if I have the power to make anything happen, but I’m always looking for opportunities to bring the girls back together."
Kim - who was in the band alongside Carmit Bachar, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton - added that she is "mostly in touch" with Robin, but claimed that it is tricky to plan things with lead singer Nicole amid her Broadway stardom and other career commitments.
She said: “I am in touch with Robin mostly, and the girls, and sort of Nicole – she’s very elusive and very busy.
“It’s hard to find out what she wants to do next and where she stands with the group.”
