Victoria Beckham Snubs Mel C Gig

Victoria Beckham did nothing to dispel rumours of a rift with her Spice Girls band mates after she was no-show at Mel C's solo concert in New York.

Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Brown cheered on Mel as she played to a half-empty Manhattan Center on Saturday.

But Posh was notably absent, despite being in the Big Apple for New York Fashion Week.

The no-show comes amid growing speculation that Victoria was behind the decision to cancel gigs in China, South Africa, Australia and Argentina, so she could spend more time with her family.

The girls have denied reports of a bust-up with Victoria, dubbing the rumours "rubbish" - but failed to respond when asked why she had stayed away on Saturday.

For her part, Mel C insisted in a statement she is disappointed the Spice Girls comeback tour has been cut short: "Melanie would like to make it perfectly clear that at no point has she refused to continue with the Spice Girls Tour.

"She is disappointed that the tour isn't continuing at this stage."
