But they told us friendship is forever!!!
We're VERY sad to report that the Spice Girls have been forced into retirement after a failed attempt to plan a second reunion world tour that was set for 2014
Following Victoria Beckham's public refusal to tour with the girls, remaining members Mel B., Mel C., Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton made the decision to throw in their leopard print and platform boots out of fear that they would be unable to sell tix and merch without the beloved Posh Spice.
A source spilled:

So sad!
The Spice Girls’ musical Viva Forever will be saying goodbye to London’s West End in the next eight weeks! The show, featuring the girl group’s biggest hits, wasn’t good enough to make the cut and will be closing at a loss of close to $8 million! YIKES!
The five released a joint statement upon the announcement of the musical’s cancellation:

Zig-ah-zig WHAT THE FRICK!
Did we accidentally just time travel back to the 1990s?!
Cause we spot Emma Bunton and Melanie C. looking VERY cheeky as their Spice Girls counterparts Baby and Sporty (above)!
Ok, so we have NOT gone on a backwards journey through time and space, instead we are seeing Emma and Mel's adorable "costumes" for their friend's dress up birthday bash!
Emma tweeted:

We’re still waiting for our dream to come true!
Please, Spice Girls, reunite!
Unfortunately it sounds like we’re going to be waiting for a while because the ladiez aren’t getting any closer to bringing back girl power.
We’ve known for awhile that Victoria Beckham has been holding out on hitting the stage once again, but we didn’t think it’d cause the end of the Spice Girls forever!
Mel C admitted that if Posh Spice Victoria wants to be done with the girl group then they will gladly let it be. She said:
Who needs Victoria Beckham anyway?!
Victoria might never sing with the Spice Girls again, but Mel C. has proven that no matter what the Girls will Viva Forever!!!!
Sporty Spice gave us a deliciously musical treat when she sang the hit song during her visit to NovaFM and her voice sounded smoother than a baby's bottom!
BEAU-TI-FUL.
Maybe the dude singing with her can replace Posh on tour??? We bet he'd look great in drag! HA!!!

Well if the rumors are true and Posh really WON'T have anything to do with the girls anymore, we guess this is the next best thing…
And by next best thing, we mean pretty freakin' smart!!!
Sources say Geri Halliwell is so determined to get a Spice Girls tour together by next year that she's trying to helm a reality show, thought to be called Wannabe Spice.
The show will find a replacement for Victoria Beckham, according to the insider, as they say:

If you Wannabe a mother, you've gotta get advice from your friends!
The Spice Girls have all become Spice Moms, but they still hang out! Only instead of playing dates, they have playdates!
Melanie C., who recently won an award for Celebrity Mum Of The Year, says:
