LONDON: Popular pop band Pussycat Dolls is set to embark on a tour in 2020, nine years after the girl group took hiatus to pursue solo careers.

The band, featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt, rose to fame in the early 2000s with breakout hits including "Don't Cha'", "Stick Wit U" and "Buttons".

However, Thornton won't be joining the band on their UK and Ireland tour. 

Scherzinger tweeted on Thursday:
