The singer joined Black Eyed Peas on stage at the 2026 American Music Awards to accept a nostalgic honour and celebrate one of the group’s biggest hits.
One of the most unexpected moments of the 2026 American Music Awards arrived when Fergie reunited with Black Eyed Peas for a surprise appearance that instantly reignited nostalgia among fans. The singer joined will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo on stage during the ceremony at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to accept the award for Best Retro Song for their hit ‘Rock That Body’.
The reunion marked a rare public appearance between Fergie and her former bandmates, years after the group shifted into a new era following her departure. As soon as the quartet stepped onto the AMAs stage together, social media erupted with excitement, with many viewers describing the moment as one of the night’s most emotional surprises.
During the acceptance speech, Fergie also turned the spotlight towards her personal life, sharing a heartfelt message for her 12-year-old son Axl, whom she shares with former husband Josh Duhamel. The singer took several moments to thank him, adding a more intimate and emotional layer to the reunion.
The victory proved especially meaningful given the competition. Black Eyed Peas beat out renewed viral favourites including ‘Iris’ by Goo Goo Dolls and ‘What’s Up’ by 4 Non Blondes, songs that recently found new audiences thanks to TikTok and social media nostalgia.
