Pussycat Dolls have cancelled the North American leg of their reunion tour after disappointing ticket sales, while confirming that their European dates will proceed as planned.

Three members of the group—Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt—had earlier announced a comeback with a new single and a global tour. However, the trio said they made the “difficult and heartbreaking decision” to cancel nearly all scheduled shows in the United States and Canada after reassessing demand.

“After taking an honest look” at the North American tour, the group said they concluded it was not viable to proceed with the planned dates.

The only performance that will go ahead in the U.S. is their appearance at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles on 6 June, which they described as a meaningful opportunity to connect with fans.

“We could not think of a more meaningful place to celebrate with our fans,” the group said, highlighting the long-standing support they have received from the LGBTQ+ community.

The Dolls had originally planned 33 dates across North America throughout June, July and August. Fans who purchased tickets via platforms like Ticketmaster or AXS will receive automatic refunds, while those who bought through third-party sellers have been advised to contact their vendors directly.

In contrast, the European leg of the tour is performing strongly. The group confirmed that multiple shows across the UK and Ireland are already sold out, with the tour set to begin in Copenhagen in September.

UK stops include Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester, before concluding at The O2 Arena on 13 October.

The group said they are now focused on delivering “unforgettable” performances for European audiences, promising a celebration of their music and legacy.

The cancellation follows similar moves by other major artists, including Post Malone and Meghan Trainor, who have also scaled back or postponed U.S. shows in recent months.

Industry observers suggest that high ticket prices and the decision to book large arenas instead of smaller venues may have contributed to the weak sales in North America.

Known for hits such as “Buttons,” “Don’t Cha,” and “I Don’t Need a Man,” the Pussycat Dolls enjoyed major success in Europe during their peak years—a trend that appears to be continuing as they prepare for their return to the stage.

Zayn Malik has cancelled his upcoming U.S. solo tour dates and reduced several UK performances after revealing he had recently been recovering from a hospital stay.

The former One Direction star shared the update through his Instagram page, explaining that he needed to reassess his schedule as he focuses on his health and recovery.

Malik said he was working to return “better and stronger than before” but would need to reduce the number of performances on his upcoming Konnakol tour, which is named after his latest album.

Although he did not specify the exact reason behind the latest cancellations, fans had already become concerned after a photo showing him in a hospital bed was shared on an official updates page around two weeks earlier.

A week after that image appeared, a message attributed to Malik said it had been a “long week” and that he was still “unexpectedly recovering,” raising further concern about his condition.

In his latest post, Malik thanked supporters for the encouragement they had sent during his recovery.

“I’ve felt it and it’s meant the world,” he wrote.

“I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before.”

Earlier in February, Malik had announced what was set to be his biggest-ever solo tour, featuring 31 dates across multiple countries and beginning at AO Arena in Manchester on 12 May.

However, the revised schedule now means the tour will begin on 23 May with only nine remaining dates.

His first UK performance will now take place at The O2 Arena in London on 23 May, followed by a Manchester show at the AO Arena the next day.

Concerts scheduled for Glasgow, Birmingham and Dublin have been cancelled, while performances across Latin America—including dates in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Brazil—are still expected to go ahead.

Malik has previously postponed or cancelled performances due to struggles with extreme anxiety, particularly around live appearances, though no connection has been confirmed between that history and the current situation.

MrBeast’s media business is facing legal action from a former employee who alleges sexual harassment and gender discrimination within the company.

The lawsuit was filed by Lorrayne Mavromatis, who worked at Beast Industries between 2022 and 2025. In court documents, she claims that harassment of female employees was “condoned” and that complaints were routinely dismissed or not taken seriously.

Mavromatis, who initially joined as head of Instagram before being promoted, alleges she was dismissed after raising concerns about what she described as a workplace lacking basic employment protections. She also claims she was treated differently from male colleagues and subjected to a hostile work environment.

Among the allegations detailed in the filing, Mavromatis says a former CEO of the company, James Warren, made inappropriate remarks suggesting her appearance affected her working relationship with Jimmy Donaldson. She further claims she was later demoted to a marginalised role within the company and ultimately fired shortly after returning from pregnancy-related leave.

The lawsuit states she has suffered emotional distress, reputational harm, and financial losses, and is seeking compensation including lost wages, benefits, and reinstatement.

In response, a spokesperson for Beast Industries strongly denied the allegations, describing the case as “categorically false” and a “clout-chasing complaint.” The company says it has substantial evidence, including internal communications and witness testimony, which it claims refutes the accusations.
