Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she suffered a horrific injury after boiling water was spilt over her leg moments before she was due on stage in Germany on Saturday.
The Pussycat Dolls singer, 48, posted a picture of her burns and blisters on Sunday just a day after the incident took place.
Nicole was determined to not let her injury ruin the tour as she insisted 'the show must go on.'
In the incident of a burn, the NHS recommend immediately cooling the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes and remove any tight clothing or jewellery near the area before swelling starts.
'Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set - but the show must go on,' she wrote.
'Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.'

Nicole's band The Pussycat Dolls announced their comeback in March along with their first single in six years, Club Song – produced and co-written by Mike Sabath.
However, last month they were forced to axe the entire US leg of their comeback tour due to dismal ticket sales.
Ashley Roberts, Nicole and Kimberly Wyatt had originally announced they would be reuniting as a trio for a massive 53-date run across the UK, Europe and North America.
But in a humiliating blow, the band have now been forced to scrap the 33 dates they had planned in their native US as well as Canada after poor sales left arenas 80 per cent empty.
Even after slashing the price of seats to just $30, organisers had no choice but to pull the plug only a month before they were set to have their first show in Palm Desert, California on June 5.
Sharing a statement to Instagram, the band wrote: 'When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world.
'After taking an honest look at the North American run, we've made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates.
'Our UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned, and the response has been incredible, with several shows already sold out,' they continued.
'We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time.

'We're working hard to create the kind of show we've always dreamed of bringing to you. We cannot wait to bring this reunion to Europe and make these nights unforgettable.'
The trio kicked off their tour in Copenhagen in September followed by shows in Paris, Warsaw and the UK.
Those who bought tickets from Ticketmaster or AXS were informed they would receive a full refund automatically, while those who bought theirs from third-party resellers have been advised to contact their point of purchase.
The Pussycat Dolls' comeback has been marred in controversy since it was first announced due to the exclusion of three of the group's founding members, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton.
Carmit and Jessica have since revealed they were both blindsided by the reunion and were never even asked to take part, with the latter going as far as to call it a 'cash grab'.
Asked by a fan if she was going to meet up with the rest of the Pussycat Dolls, Jessica replied: 'No, I'm not. They have been planning it for a year and blatantly didn't ask Carmit and I.
'We are finding it all out the same time as you are. I was not contacted regarding the group's decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.'
Carmit went on to call the trio's move 'disappointing on a personal level' but added that she remains 'proud of the role I played in helping shape what The Pussycat Dolls became'.
'My intention in sharing this is not to create division, but to honor the truth and the fans who have supported us throughout the years,' she continued. 'Transparency and respect are values I hold deeply. At this time, I am choosing to focus on my wellbeing and to move forward with positivity and purpose.'
BURNS - WHAT ARE THEY, AND HOW DO YOU TREAT THEM?
Burns are damage to the skin caused by dry heat, such as an iron or a fire.
This is different to scalds, which occur due to wet heat like hot water or steam.
Burns can be very painful and may cause:
- Red or peeling skin
- Blisters
- Swelling
- White or charred skin
But the amount of pain a person feels is not always related to how serious the burn is.
Even a very serious burn can be painless.
To treat a burn:
- Remove the heat source
- Cool with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes. Do not use ice
- Remove any nearby clothing or jewellery unless it is stuck to the skin
- Keep the person warm with a blanket
- Cover the burn with clingfilm
- Use painkillers like paracetamol if necessary
- If the face or eyes are burnt, keep sitting up to reduce swelling
Burns that require immediate A&E treatment are:
- Chemical or electrical
- Large or deep - bigger than the injured person's hand
- Those that cause white or charred skin
- Those on the face, hands, limbs, feet or genitals that blister
Pregnant women, children under five, the elderly, those with a weak immune system and people suffering from a medical condition, like diabetes, should also go to hospital.
Treatment depends on what layers of the skin are affected.
In severe cases, a skin graft may be required.
