The Spice Girls will no longer be performing in Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina

Spice Girls cut short world tour

The Spice Girls will no longer be performing in Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina as part of their ongoing tour.

The girl band, who reunited in a blaze of publicity in June last year, said yesterday that they would complete their tour in Toronto on February 26.

A spokesperson blamed the decision on "family and personal commitments".

Previous reports have suggested lack of interest in some of the cities.

Originally, dates were set for concerts in Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Beijing and Sydney in January.

When the tour was changed around due to demand for extra London performances, new dates were never set.
