If a Band with No Fan Base Falls Flat...

If a Band with No Fan Base Falls Flat...
The recently reunited Spice Girls have canceled their world tour four months early. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, the group has called it quits for one of two reasons, neither of them good: either nobody is buying tickets or the Girls hate each other. Judging by the rather undisturbed reaction of the Daily Mail’s commenters, we’d say it’s the former (which might contribute to the latter):

• “Thank god ‘Old Spice’ are not coming here to Oz! I can’t stand them, and I used to be a fan. There is nothing more embarrassing than a bunch of starved has-beens trying to make a come-back!”

• “Who would be silly enough to pay to see old hags miming to old songs?”

• “Face it girls, you’re not The Police, Led Zeppelin or Eagles… you’re just five talentless bimbos who had their 15 minutes of fame which feels a really long time ago. Most people that actually bought your records are today embarrassed to admit that… would they be seen in the audience of your ‘reunion’ tour? Get real and good riddance.”
