Spice Girls Announce Permanent Split And Axe 2014 World Tour Plans

The Spice Girls have announced their retirement and have scrapped any hopes of a 2014 world tour, according to reports in today's Mirror newspaper.
Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C and Emma Bunton are said to have come to the agreement following a conference call together, citing Victoria Beckham's reluctance to reunite with the group for future projects. A source revealed:
'Led by Geri, the girls had been plotting a world tour as a four-piece band, culminating in a final night at Wembley Stadium. The three other girls had been initially up for it but once they started having meetings they realised the capital wasn't there.
'They also feared a general apathy from the public if Posh wasn't in the fray, leading to dates not selling out. Victoria's obviously a big pull when it comes to the fans and she also guarantees press coverage.
'On the last tour she cut a huge amount of costs by getting sponsors, organising the designers to sort the outfits and she even persuaded Jacko and Madonna's choreographer Jamie King to get involved.
'Although they all desperately wanted to do it, they couldn't take the risk of it being a flop – the Spice Girls could only ever go out on a high.'
It was confirmed last week that the Spice Girls's critically-panned West End show, 'Viva Forever!', was axed due to poor ticket sales.
