Argentina Fiasco


Over the weekend, many blogs had been reporting that the Girls had sent out an e-mail to their fans in South America, informing them that they had cancelled their show in Buenos Aires, Argentina due to scheduling conflicts with the UK and US shows. This letter read as follows.

Hi there!

First of all, we would like to thank all our fans who bought our Greatest Hist Album, it's doing great! As you know, the demand for our concert tickets in the USA and the UK has been really overwhelming. So, in order to meet that demand, it’s not possible for us to keep extending the tour because of our solo projects and family obligations. That means we are unable to hold a concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We're incredibly sorry for the delay in making this announcement, but we have been really trying to fit this date in our schedule.

To make this up for you all, we’ll be having some great competitions for our South American fans. The lucky winners will attend one of our London shows (flight and accommodation included!) and will receive an All Access Pass! Isn’t that MAJOR?

Keep checking thespicegirls.com for news on rehearsals and exclusive contents!

Best Wishes

Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C, and Victoria

I'm happy to report that this story was completely bogus. The Girls released a statement through the official website reassuring that they would be putting on the concert in Argentina, but date announcements had been postponed due to the additional dates added to the UK and US legs of the Tour.

Don't cry Argentina, you'll get the chance to "polka the salsa" too. Just be patient.

PS. Shame on whoever put together this false letter. ;)
