When asked about the “London Bridge” performer’s absence, Will.i.am admitted that he was a bit stumped himself. “We are now a trio. I don't know why Fergie isn't on the project,” he said. “You will have to ask Fergie that. You know, we are actually capable of doing it without Fergie."

His statements aren't very far from the truth considering that the group itself started back in 1995 and Fergie didn’t make her debut with them until 2002.

“I love that girl. We have a chat group called Black Eyed Peas family. It has nothing to do with making music or money. It's about friendship. It's the three of us and Nicole. It's about family. Nicole is Black Eyed Peas. She is family,” he said.
