Spice Girls Comeback Cancelled

According to The Sun, at least two of the four singers do not want to reunite for a tour foreseen for November or December.

Mel C and Victoria Beckham met last week in Madrid, Spain to discuss the possibility of a tenth anniversary tour.

According to The Sun’s source, "Melanie has never really been into the idea of performing with the girls again. She is proud of everything they did together but she has moved on. She wants to concentrate on solo work. She met with Victoria, who was thinking the same thing. Posh is now heavily into fashion and realised the Spice tour had the potential to be a PR disaster. Geri Halliwell is expecting a baby in the summer so she’s not going to be in any position to start rehearsing for a while. Emma Bunton and Mel B both wanted to do it but now Victoria and Melanie C have vetoed it."
