Well, it couldn't have been all wine and roses (or whatever the bloody saying is) for the Spice "Girls" on their reunion world tour. They've enjoyed a number of high-profile television gigs, a fairly warm critical response, and good ticket sales - until now, that is.

They recently played the second of two dates in Las Vegas and the auditorium was about as "full" as North Geelong Basketball Stadium was when we went to see Spice Force: The Australian Spice Girls Experience in 1997.

Promoters boasted of a sell-out tour, but it appears a number ticket holders had second thoughts about seeing the Spice Girls perform in concert last night.

Almost half of the seats in the Mandalay Arena auditorium were empty as the group took to the stage for their second show in Las Vegas.

...It's not the first disappointment the Spice Girls have encountered since their reunion.

Their charity comeback single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) is the worst selling Children in Need song ever after it scraped into the UK midweek charts at No.10.

It's funny, isn't it - if you were a struggling young indie band, it's safe to say you'd pretty much lose your shit if your single "scraped in" at #10. But this obviously means the death knell for the Spicy reunion.

We gather that these "friends forever" will be gagging to never see each other ever again come the final dates of this tour.
