MEL B: 'SPICE GIRLS WILL NEVER REFORM'

The SPICE GIRLS will never reform again, insisting their recent reunion tour was the "final goodbye". Fans hoped the group had kept the door open on further concerts, following their 2007/2008 world tour - particularly after band members refused to rule out a second reunion.

But Scary Spice Melanie Brown dismissed the suggestion at the BMI Urban Awards in California on Thursday (04Sep08), telling reporters, "No. (That tour) was our final goodbye." Brown did admit she misses her bandmates, and enjoyed the chance to perform with them again, saying: "I think we always really enjoyed the whole journey. It was really nice to tour again. Really nice. We're all still friends."
