In another hit to our live music and concert scene, The Pussycat Dolls have been forced to postpone their upcoming UK reunion tour due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The group were due to take to the road next month but have revealed they’re ‘gutted’ to be rescheduling.

It comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson advised the nation to practice social distancing amid the Covid-19 spread.

Now the Buttons group – comprised of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta and Carmit Bachar – will kick off their hotly-anticipated tour on 19 October in Newcastle.

Ashley shared a statement today to announce the news, writing: ‘Alright Doll lovers.. Following the latest government advice we are very sad to announce that we are postponing our upcoming UK and Ireland tour.

‘We’re gutted not to be able to perform next month, but the safety and health of our fans is of course our No.1 priority.’

She continued: ‘We look forward to seeing you all at the rescheduled dates in October. In the meantime please stay safe and look after yourselves.

‘Love Pussycat Dolls #pcdreunion (sic)’

She accompanied the statement with the rescheduled shows, which are now set to kick off in October and finish in Dublin on 2 November.

Ashley’s bandmate Kimberly shared a similar message and told fans that she would be doing live dance workouts on her Instagram account over the next coming weeks to keep people active while in isolation.

She wrote: ‘The @pussycatdolls UK and Ireland dates have been pushed! As gutted as I am we have to do this….it’s the right thing to do.

‘The health and well-being of our fans has to come first. Sending love and positive vibes!

‘Whilst the world is under such uncertainty and we’re all staying home more….I’ll be doing insta-Live dance workouts! Gotta focus on what we CAN do rather then what we can’t! (sic)’

The group have been hitting the promo tour hard recently, wowing and dazzling us all to within an inch of our latex – and shrugging off all those Ofcom complaints in the process.

We’ll just wait here, buzzing ’til October, ladies!
