It was billed as the comeback of Girl Power, but as the Spice Girls' highly-anticipated world tour comes to an abrupt end, amid rumours of in-fighting and backstabbing, has the nail finally been hammered into the coffin of the world's most famous girl band?
When Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C announced last June they were reuniting, they promised concerts all over the world, saying they wanted all their fans to have one last chance to see them perform.
However, on February 1, Posh, Scary, Ginger, Baby and Sporty announced they were calling it a day at the end of the month, with the last concert being in Toronto, Canada, as they needed to resume their normal lives.
The band told fans: "We've had such an amazing time over the last three months. It's been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we've really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. We are really sorry if we didn't get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next."
The girls had opened the tour in Vancouver on December 2, 2007, and took in cities across the US and Europe, which included a 17-night stint at London's O2 arena because of the phenomenal demand for tickets.
However, fans in Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina who wanted to catch a glimpse of the 90s icons were left furious when their demands were ignored by the girls.
One said: "OK, first of all the Spice Girls died a long time ago and instead of coming out and having this reunion why didn't they just stay in the dark instead of getting everyone's hopes up in thinking that this tour would last and they would get around the world! I am sorry girls you need to grow up! You made a promise to your fans and you broke it!"
