The five piece have played reunion gigs in the UK, Canada, the US and in Madrid and Cologne but have now cancelled their shows in Australia, Argentina, and China. The girls will now finish the reunion tour in Toronto on February 26.

Rumours suggest that the two Mels have becomed disillusioned with the tour and the lack of interest in their shows and new single, and that they were instrumental in the cancellation of the future shows.

A friend told the Daily Mirror:

“Mel B wasn’t having any of it. She misses her husband and children and said she couldn’t go on. She’s also been flooded with US offers after her success on Dancing With Stars.

“Mel C agreed it was time to call it a day. She was the least excited about it. She also feared it might jeopardise her solo career.” Read more & comment »
