GOODBYE. NO, REALLY. GOODBYE. HONESTLY.

So the Spice Bubble has burst once again, as the fearsome fivesome have pulled the plug on the rest of their world tour.  As they say in their farewell YouTube video, thank you and goodnight.  Apparently 'the meeja' have been saying some horrible things about them (shock) so they just wanted to set the record straight.  Kids have to go to school, families come first etc etc.  Now, the cynical reader may think actually, you've made shitloads of money by doing 17 concerts in London so why go to all the bother of traveling half way around the world for a few more shows.  Or could it be that nowhere else in the world was that bothered about the return of Girl Power?

Whatever.  It's kind of an anti-climactic end to what was big news and then kind of faded into the background pretty quickly. The demand for a new album obviously isn't there if the success of "Headlines" is anything to go by, so it seems like it's time to make a graceful exit and go roll on a duvet of £50 notes.

I'm glad they did it one more time.  Their concert was amazing.  It just seems a little sad that they couldn't even finish their own farewell tour.
