The Black Eyed Peas could go ahead with releasing a brand new album without Fergie's involvement.
The band are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year having formed back in 1995, but Fergie reveals the milestone may be honoured without her because she didn't join the group until 2003.
Asked if they've discussed 20th anniversary plans, Fergie told Digital Spy: "Not really. I was just in the studio last week and I saw Taboo there, and I heard something will was doing and it was great. But maybe the guys are doing something? I haven't been in the group for 20 years, so it's more their anniversary of being together for 20 years. So maybe they're putting out an album themselves."
An indefinite hiatus since 2011 has seen the group rested, but will.i.am previously announced the band would reform for their anniversary despite Fergie saying she's now focusing on her solo album, due to be released this year.
She added to the entertainment website: "Well I just saw Taboo at the studio for a few minutes, but I'm working on my stuff and I only have a certain amount of hours I can be in the studio because I have Axl. So I'm just very focussed on finishing my album right now."
