Nicole Scherzinger performs with the Pussycat Dolls after suffering severe burns. Multiple reports say boiling water spills onto her leg shortly before a scheduled concert, and she still takes the stage.

Outlet accounts describe the incident as happening in Germany and taking place about an hour before the performance. One report says she is burned when she is scaled by boiling water, while another emphasizes that she shows the injury publicly and powers through it to continue the concert. Both sources present the same core timeline: the injury occurs shortly before the show, the burn is serious, and she proceeds with her live appearance despite the harm.
