Nicole Scherzinger Powers Through Pussycat Dolls Tour Despite Severe Leg Burn
Nicole Scherzinger continues the PCD Forever Tour after suffering a painful boiling water burn. Read how the singer managed her latest concert performance.
POLICY WIRE — Dusseldorf, Germany — Nicole Scherzinger took to the stage for a high-energy performance despite sustaining a significant injury just moments before the show. The 48-year-old singer suffered a severe burn after boiling water spilled onto her leg, affecting the area from her knee down to her ankle.
The incident occurred at the PSD Bank Dome in Dusseldorf, Germany, as the group prepared for their latest stop on the PCD Forever Tour. Scherzinger addressed the mishap on her Instagram story, stating: “Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set, but the show must go on.”
She expressed gratitude to the German audience for their support during the difficult performance. Following the Dusseldorf show, the singer continued the tour in the Netherlands, appearing at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome alongside bandmates Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt.

The group is scheduled to bring their tour to the UK, with an upcoming performance at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena this Tuesday. The tour itinerary continues with a show at Dublin’s 3Arena on October 5 and a stop at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on October 7, before concluding at London’s The O2 on October 13.
This tour marks a significant return for the Pussycat Dolls, who had previously cancelled a planned tour in 2022. Earlier this year, the group faced challenges with their North American schedule, ultimately cancelling all but one date—a performance at the WeHo Pride event in Los Angeles—citing poor ticket sales.
In a statement regarding the North American cancellations, the group noted: “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 Pussycat Dolls, originally a six-piece ensemble, maintain a legacy of eight UK top 10 singles, including chart-toppers “Don’t Cha” and Stickwitu, alongside three UK top 10 albums. Reporting by Policy-Wire (PW)
