Fergie covers the November issue of Ocean Drive magazine and dishes on why The Black Eyed Peas decided to take a break, her plans for the future and her marriage to actor Josh Duhamel.
The singer says she’s excited about the group’s last show in South Florida before their haitus. “[We have] a final concert before we go on our big hiatus that everyone assumes that we’re on right now. We’re not.”
She says the November 23rd concert is the best way for the group to close out the its party-hardy phase and take a well-deserved break. “Miami’s a party place; we’re a party group. It’s the perfect audience. People in Miami love to live life, and the Black Eyed Peas—that’s what we’re all about. And it’ll be a beautiful celebration of all the work we’ve put into all these years.”
“We worked really hard,” she adds. “There were days where we weren’t sleeping and were doing numbers of shows per day, and it was just go big or go home. We were just all hungry for it, and doing it together.”
Fergie also denied rumors of a rift within the group. “If somebody had a bad day, we had the others to hold each other up. We went through so many unique experiences together that it’s really a beautiful thing…. I choked up just the other night at Central Park when we did that show. These are great celebrations of our friendship, and we know it’s going to be a while before this happens again, so we’re just taking it in right now and just really enjoying each moment.”
As for her hiatus plans the singer says, “[I won’t miss] sleeping in different hotel rooms all the time. I want to be home, because I moved into my house but I haven’t really been able to decorate it fully— just going to museums, going to art galleries, picking out art, things like that that I haven’t been able to do lately. I’ll be excited to be in my own bed at night.”
