The Spice Girls world tour is about to come to a grinding halt early. The two will now on February 26, with Australia, China. South America and South Africa given the flick.
In a statement, the group said, "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."Poor ticket sales and high ticket prices are said to be the unofficial reason for the cancellation although the spin would have you believe otherwise. "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 statement said.
The word from Emma, Geri, Victoria and the Mel's is "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."
The tour started in Vancouver on December 2nd. It will now end in Toronto on February 26.
