Nicole Scherzinger had a rough Sunday. About an hour before her Pussycat Dolls set in Düsseldorf, boiling water spilled onto her leg, leaving her skin covered in blisters. Instead of staying backstage, she posted a photo of the injury to her Instagram Story, wrote“the show must go on,”and hit the stage anyway. That’s the kind of dedication fans have come to expect from the PCD Forever world tour.
It’s been a complicated comeback for the Dolls. The tour with Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt launched in June, but in May the group canceled most of the North American dates, calling it a“difficult and heartbreaking decision”after reviewing ticket sales. Earlier in September, Scherzinger missed part of a show in Poland when her in-ear pack malfunctioned. Her rep said she was devastated that fans felt let down, which makes her pushing through Sunday’s burn even more on-brand.
Scherzinger wrapped the night by thanking the Düsseldorf crowd and telling them she’d see them soon in Amsterdam. Blisters, technical glitches, and a scaled-back tour schedule, and she’s still showing up. What’s the most impressive thing you’ve ever pushed through to honor a commitment?
