STATEMENT FROM GERI HALLIWELL

This message is for the fans. Sadly, I would like to confirm that I have left the Spice Girls.

This is because of differences between us.

I'm sure the group will continue to be successful and I wish them all the best.

I have no immediate plans.

I wish to apologise to all the fans and to thank them and everyone who's been there.

Lots of love, Geri.

P.S. I'll be back.
