Carmit Bachar, lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, made her triumphant return to the stage at the Capital Pride Parade and Festival in New York on June 12. Fans would have loved to see all the Pussycat Dolls members together, but it's clear the band is going through something.
Bachar herself said she is "repping" for the band.
She revealed to Daily Star UK that she is immensely grateful to be back on stage after the pandemic.
"After all the madness of Covid and the cancelled tour it felt satisfying to be back on stage and repping for all the dolls fans across the world in front of thousands of fans," she started. "I'll always be a Pussycat Doll and it's such an honour to be able to share that special connection with the fans across the globe," she added.
The last time Carmit and her bandmates performed together was still in November 2019. There was supposed to be a tour reunion, but it was cancelled out of the blue. Worse, not all the members knew about the decision until it was already made, and announced.
Due to the coronavirus epidemic, the band's gigs have been postponed until 2021, despite confirming plans to tour the world in 2020 after a nine-year hiatus.
The trio rescheduled their string concerts a year later owing to the ever-changing circumstances, but in January of this year, Nicole announced that the tour was canceled. Everyone thought that this was something the whole band agreed upon, but turned out this wasn't the case.
Carmit herself insinuated that she and the other band members, except for Nicole, were all blindsided.
"We want to say how incredibly disappointed we are to learn of an announcement made on Instagram that the Pussycat Dolls reunion tour is cancelled. As of now, there has been no official notification of that," she wrote.
She said she felt as if something incredible ended, and not really understanding whether the tour is still on or not, she said she just wants to thank the fans for their support all through the years.
"We wanted it as much as you because we appreciate you all so much and it hurts our hearts you had to wait so long for an answer, but unfortunately it's out of our control."
The duo concluded their remarks by stating that "this is not the end of the Dolls' journey" and that they have managed to create something that they are certain would last forever.
Following the revelation, Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin issued a statement stating that the group had made personal and financial sacrifices, but that this is what a "band" is expected to do.
