The Spice Girls recorded a video message apology for fans, saying sorry for canceling their tour a bit early.
“We have children,” Posh said. “Kids need to go back to school and we’ve always said that our families are our priorities so we want to thank all of our fans. Sorry we haven’t got to see everybody. We had a great time.”

The Spice Girls just announced that they’re cutting their world tour short!
They have dropped Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina, reportedly because of poor ticket sales.
Here’s their official statement: “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 said: “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.”
Thanks, Doobybrain!

Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham take their husbands to cheer on fellow Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm at her solo acoustic show at the Mint in Los Angeles Thursday night.
Stephen Belafonte was seen holding wife Mel B‘s hand all night. David Beckham was seen with his arm wrapped around Posh.
On yesterday’s Barbara Walters special, Becks said: “I’d love two more children. I’ve always wanted a big family, I love big families.”
Posh also mentioned how she keeps her slender frame: “I’m very, very health-conscious. I’ve never been one to eat lots of junk food.”

Here is the very first picture of Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham of the Spice Girls performing during their full dress rehearsal for The Return of Spice Girls World Tour at GM Place on Saturday in Vancouver, Canada.
Talking onboard the flight to Vancouver, Geri told thespicegirls.com: “I’m not nervous, just really, really excited.” Whilst Emma added: “I think it will hit me on Sunday. But I can’t wait to get on stage.” The Spice Girls World Tour kicks off tonight in Vancouver.
According to UK’s The Sunday Mirror, here are some of the surprises The Spice Girls have in store:
– Ginger Spice Geri will thrill male fans by stripping to her undies during a solo performance of her No. 1 solo hit “It’s Raining Men.” She’ll rip off her dress to reveal red, white and blue underwear – an echo of the famous Union Jack mini dress she wore at the Brit Awards 10 years ago.
– Raunchy Mel B will take to the stage in a skin-tight leopard-print outfit.
– Like Geri, Mel C and Baby Emma, [Scary Spice Mel B] will have a short solo stint during each concert, singing her solo hits and favorite cover versions.
– Victoria – by her own admission not the strongest vocalist in the Spice Girls – will not have a solo vocal spot. Instead, she will have her own fashion slot when she will strut up and down the catwalk, striking poses in designer gear.
HOW EXCITED ARE YOU? DOESN’T THIS MAKE YOU WANNA ZIG-A-ZIG-AH?
