Spice Girls Count Money, Decide To Call It A Day - Page 2
But there are other, less publicized reasons as well. From the start this reunion has been plagued with rumors of infighting between the girls. For their final concert in Toronto, they all flew in separately and it was rumored that they were all staying in different hotels. Mel C wants to return to her solo career (she was the most reluctant of the girls to reunite, mainly because she is the one with the most to lose). And Posh wants to get back to designing whatever it is that she designs.
I personally think it's rather ironic that Posh is the one who said she wanted to show her boys that "mummy" used to be a pop star, a famous person in her own right, and then at the height of the tour basically said, "Oh, you know that pop star thing? Yeah, I'm so not that any more. I design clothes now. I've moved on."
My opinion on why they quit? I think they found out it was just too hard. Let's face it, these are women in their thirties now. While that isn't old by any stretch, all of them except Mel C now have children and families to look after...and just traveling from one spot to another is hard enough with kids, let alone taking them on a tour. And as all of us who are of a "certain age" know, even if you're in the best of shape, as you get older your body doesn't quite want to do the things it did when it was ten years younger. The last time these "girls" were on tour, they were single young twentysomethings with no kids, commitments, or bunions. I think they looked at the past with rose-coloured glasses...but then got a rude awakening.
Oh, and they made enough money. Time to call it a show! Bye, everyone! Tip your waitresses! Drive safely!
