Despite pursuing solo careers, Fergie and will.i.am have assured fans their fullest commitment to the tour.

“We just simply do it,” said will.i.am on their ability to accommodate the band’s tour with their solo careers.

“It is like a big salad bowl. We take this as an advantage to blend in our solo efforts with the group’s projects. We have more variations and colours for our showcase,” added Fergie.
