Black Eyed Peas On Possible Fergie Reunion: ‘She’s Really Happy Doing What She’s Doing’
The Black Eyed Peas open up about the possibility of performing again with Fergie. The singer left the band in 2017 after working with them since 2002, through some of their greatest hits like “Let’s Get It Started,” “I Gotta Feeling” and “My Humps.” Despite the sudden departure, the members hold no ill feelings towards her — though the prospect of a reunion seems unlikely.
