London - The Spice Girls have announced they are to cut back their reunion tour "due to family and personal commitments".
They cancelled concerts in China, South Africa, Australia
and Argentina and the tour that reunited the British "Girl
Power" group in a blaze of publicity is to end in Toronto on
February 26.
A spokesman said: "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 UKand the
US along with the touring logistics for such a massive
production it was not possible to fit everything in."
The Spice Girls were one of the biggest pop acts of the
1990s, selling 35 million albums worldwide with such catchy hits
as Wannabe and Say You'll Be There.
On their website, the group said of the surprise decision to
cut back on the reunion tour: "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."
