Spice Girls Call Off Rest Of World Tour

LONDON — The Spice Girls have dropped Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina from their world tour, which reportedly has been drawing a disappointing turnout at some concerts.

The group, which reunited in a blaze of publicity last June, said on Friday that the tour will now end in Toronto on Feb. 26.

"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," the group said in a statement.

The Spice Girls' tour kicked off in Vancouver, Canada, on Dec. 2, and has also included stops in Britain, the United States, Spain and Germany.

The concerts being canceled were to be held in the cities of Sydney, Beijing, Cape Town and Buenos Aires, the statement said.

Good, I am glad this no talent group is coming to the Land Down Under. Bunch of glorified no talent karaoke singers

What?? These losers were on tour??? Gee, did I miss this??? too bad.... Not!!!!

They look like hags- too skinny, too botoxed, too siliconed, too tanned, and of course, the biggest factor of their former fans lack of interest- they were a band that had their day, but just don't do it for anyone anymore. MOST people grow up, and outgrow bubblegum. To endure, you have to have talent in the first place, and practice, practice, practice. Oh, and being REAL doesn't hurt.

That is the problem. You spend big bucks to see T&A on no talent girls like the spice girls and Britney Spears. I'd save my money and go to a water park.

It boggles the mind to think about how badly this must have sucked. I'd be willing to wager that it made Britney's performance at the VMA's look brilliant by comparison

Too much sillycone and bipolar in one room.

Filed under: Who gave a shit in the first place? Obviously, no one.

B'bye!

Hey my "Para a las Spice Girls" candle worked!

Damn! And I just bought tickets. I guess I'll have to go see Hannah Montana instead.

They started with 15 or so set dates. Due to huge demand they expanded to 54 shows. They'll play all but the last 6. They sold out the first of 17 UK shows in a record-breaking 38 seconds. Kind of a misleading story here on dont you think? Here's the intro the the San Jose show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRVyChvBFcY&feature=related

BTW I havent seen this much hate since I lurked on freerepublic. Shame on all of you.

Typical snarky Huffpo bringdown. The Spice Girls started their tour with only about 15 or so set dates and due to massive demand they expanded the tour to 38 dates. They'll play all but the last 6. So they ended up doing MUCH MORE than was originally announced due to demand. Get it? Here's the intro to the San Jose show...I was there and it was WAY louder than it sounds. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/02/spice-girls-call-off-rest_n_84568.html#postComment

Why would they cancel a world tour?

Could no talent have anything to do with it?

[zippywpinhead]

Has it been fifteen minutes already? My, how time flies...

Spice Girls Jump the Shark Tour. Who would have guessed the old-Spice Mom tour would be bad? They at least looked better than Britney.

These gals are tailor-made for a VH1 "reality" series. As for a name, how about Stale Spices: How To Outlive Your Use-By Date?
