These Artists Left Music Groups to Pursue Other Projects

Geri Halliwell (aka Ginger Spice) – Spice Girls

Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell) left the Spice Girls back in April 1998. The remaining four – Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham – continued performing together until 2000. They reunited for a tour in 2007 and performed at the London Olympics in 2012!

“Obviously there was a bit of ruction in the band, and I was thinking ‘You know, I just don’t want to do this anymore. It was like, ‘You’re getting on my nerves and I don’t know how to talk this through, so I’m out of here.’ It was quite immature, looking back,’” Geri told Oprah in a recent interview about why she left.
