SPICE GIRLS - SPICE GIRLS SCRAP SPRING DATES, CUT REUNION TOUR SHORT

THE SPICE GIRLS have stunned fans in China, South Africa, Australia and Argentina by scrapping the last leg of their reunion tour. The Wannabe hitmakers, who kicked off their sold-out world trek in December (07), have decided not to complete dates due to "family and personal commitments". A statement released on Friday (01Feb08) by the group's publicist read, "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 U.S., the girls planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the U.K and the U.S. along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in." The world tour will now end in Toronto, Canada on 26 February (08).
