Mel C Regrets Spice Girls’ Aussie Snub

At least one Spice Girl is disappointed about the recent cancellation of their Australian tour. Speaking backstage at the recent Madison Square Garden gig, Melanie “Sporty Spice” Chisholm said she was upset about the decision.

“We were really excited about that part of the tour. We had never toured Australia before. We literally ran out of time and we know that probably isn’t good enough,” the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“You would have to be crazy not to want to go to Australia. We would have loved to have gone. It just didn’t work out this time.”

Is that any comfort to Australian Spice Girls fans? No? I thought not.

Spice Girls Cancel Aussie Show

Sorry kids. It looks like the Spice Girls won’t visit Australia after all. Emma, Geri, Mel B, Mel C, and Victoria have decided to wrap up their world tour at the end of the month.

Their last performance will be in Toronto on February 26, leaving China, South America, South Africa, and Australia out in the cold.

“We’ve had such an amazing time over the last three months,” the girls said in a statement. “It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. 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.

“There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.”

There are rumours buzzing around that poor ticket sales and high ticket prices are behind the tour’s early end, but I’m not so sure. I know plenty of people who signed up for the ticket ballot, and I’m sure they’re going to be crushed.

The statement doesn’t discount further reunions sometime down the track so who knows? I’ll keep my fingers crossed for all your Aussie Spice Girls fans!
