A farewell message by the Spice Girls

The Toronto concert which concluded recently is the last time the Spice Girls will be performing on stage as the Spice Girls. The much awaited reunion tour of the Spice Girls was cut short due to some problems between the Spice Girls and it has now become official that the Toronto show in which the Spice Girls revealed their sassy costumes will be the last time they perform together on stage. The little Sugar, Cruz, treated the audience with yet another mind blowing performance and the Canadian fans were lucky that these pop divas chose Toronto as their last stop of their reunion tour.

The Spice Girls in their parting message on their website said that they have come to the end of the road and that their eyes are filled with tears of joy as well as sorrow. They said that their reunion tour is testimony to the fact that dreams can be real and said that through their tour they were able to satisfy their loyal fans all over the world. They said that they hope that the Girl Power will continue for generations to come and are pretty sad to say goodbye, even though they hate to use the word.
