  "account": "On September 27, Nicole Scherzinger, a member of the Pussycat Dolls, posted photos of serious burns and blisters on her leg. She claimed the injuries were caused by boiling water spilling on her just moments before the group's gig at PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany. The incident occurred on September 26, and the images were shared in a now-expired Instagram Story. In the caption, Scherzinger, 48, stated, \"Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set — but the show must go on. Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.\" Scherzinger is currently touring with the PCD Forever reunion, which returned as a trio in 2023. The group also included Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, although Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton were absent. The PCD Forever tour was originally planned to begin in Palm Desert, California, on June 5, but the group canceled all but one of their North American tour dates in May, citing a \"difficult and heartbreaking decision.\" The next scheduled PCD Forever tour date is Tuesday, September 29, at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, U.K.",
