When the Spice Girls announced their concert in 2007 many people, including yours truly wondered, if the girls still had it?
The girls did an amazing job generating buzz and attention, even offering an exclusive CD release with Victoria’s Secret, and did a decent job selling tickets in the US. As the concert moved to Canada and Europe ticket sales faltered, and dates were postponed and rescheduled. The girls have finally announced that they will be canceling any dates after February 26th, the official reason is “family and personal commitments”.
Anyone with a family can understand that the demands of a concert road trip are much harder to deal with when you are older and have a family. However if 80’s rock bands can put aside their personal differences when a reunion tour comes around, and coincidentally the money has usually run out, the spice girls could hire an extra nanny or two, if things were working as planned. Let’s be honest, a comeback tour, where the fans don’t comeback is a failure.
What’s the lesson here, if your primary audience was young teens, as they get older and mature, things they thought were cool turn out to be lame. Cultivating a new fan base takes years, especially with teens. So girls it was nice to see you, and I don’t suspect you’ll disappear, but you old dogs will have to learn some new tricks.

[...] Considering her last outting on the VMA awards I’d be surprised if this lasted longer than the recently cancelled Spice Girls Reunion Concert. [...]
