On a Saturday morning I was out on my drinks cart when I received a message from my friend, Louise. She told me the terrible news that quote "Spice Girls have cancelled their tour".
I am dissapointed.Shocked.Horrified.Betrayed.
Woah!That is a lot of words but when you get excited to see a group reform, promise to travel to Australia and then cancel, what would your reaction be?
The girls who pocketed a cool $22 Million each for the tour will finish up in Toronto on February 26.
The official statement on the girls website states:
“Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria. It was announced in June that, as well as the Europe and the US, the girls planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in. As the girls return to normal family life and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the options, who knows what the future might bring!"
The Girls then went on to say: “We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.”
It has also been reported that Mel B wanted to finish because she's also been given opportunities after her success on the US version of Dancing With the Stars.
Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career.
Some are saying that the tension between the girls was a big factor in the split and after Melanie C was seen leaving a psychiatrist’s office, two hours after entering only last week eyebrows started to raise as to how Mel C was coping with being back in the group. NW Magazine reported just last week, that Chisholm only said ‘yes’ to the reunion because she didn’t want to be the bad guy and be the only one to say ‘no’. Her heart wasn't really in it.
There has always been a competitive streak between Geri and Victoria. Did anyone else notice they are skinner now than ten years ago and four of them have had children?
Wow! The Spice Girls have really destroyed the hearts of millions this time.
