Of course, most people have one main question when it comes to discussing The Black Eyed Peas’ lineup: Where’s Fergie? The guys have now confirmed that Fergie is no longer in the band and is now “focusing on being a mom” (she shares a 6-year-old son with ex-husband Josh Duhamel).

“That's a hard job, and that’s what she really wants to do and we’re here for her.” will.i.am said. “She knows how to contact us for a retreat or a breakaway. It’s really the way Fergie designed it, so we’re respecting her design. We love Fergie, and we don’t want anything but awesomeness for her.”

While we’ll certainly miss seeing Fergie perform with The Black Eyed Peas, there’s no denying that J. Rey Soul is extremely talented and an incredible addition to the group. She may have big shoes to fill, but she’s already proven she’s ready for the challenge.
