Geri Halliwell retires from music

Geri Halliwell has told OK! magazine she has retired from music, and said Mel B blocked a Spice Girls Live 8 appearance, with a reunion now unlikely.

Geri Halliwell has retired from music. Forever. Or at least that's what she said to OK! magazine recently, and to be fair, one might have assumed it from her recent silence/lack of huge success. The former Spice Girl said: "As far as music is concerned, I feel like I've given it my best. When I see how desperate people are for that chance, I realise I've had my turn and now I have to let it go."

She also discussed the er, much discussed possibility of a Spice Girls reunion, saying that it was Mel B who nixed the band's opportunity to appear at Live 8 last year, saying "We were all ready apart from Mel B."

She added that it's unlikely ever to happen now, saying: "Victoria said maybe it's time to move on and I think she's got a point. Maybe it's better to keep the Spice Girls as a memory but never say never. A taxi driver said to me we could still do a reunion even if one of us didn't want to."
