The end of girl power? Spice Girls return DIVIDES social media as some brand comeback 'desperate' while others CRY and international fans book flights
They remain one of the world's most successful and influential girl bands, who on Monday confirmed they would reunite for a six-date nationwide tour.
But the Spice Girls' decision to reunite (minus Victoria Beckham) for the first time since their 2012 tour has divided social media, with some fans admitting to being so overjoyed they cried, while others have branded the band's regrouping 'cringe' and are claiming it won't be the same without Posh.
Twitter users took to the social media site in their droves to impart their opinion, with many expressing their thoughts via the popular medium of meme.

Adopting a more cynical outlook on the comeback tour, some fans accused the band of reforming to top up their supposedly dwindling bank accounts, with one writing: 'I wish they would call comeback and reunion tours by their real name. The "We've run out of money tour" #SpiceGirls.'
Another concurred: 'I'm shocked at the #SpiceGirls getting back together. Didn't think they'd run out of money this quickly,' before a third chimed: 'Swear the spice girls live in a constant circle of together > broken up > rumours of getting back together > denying said rumours > run out of money > together and touring again.'
Others lamented Victoria's failure to appear, while some took comfort in the recent revelation that she would still receive a payout from the tour because she owns an equal stake in the band, according to reports.

Another disappointed follower wrote: 'I’m a Celeb with no Ant, Spice Girls Reunion with no Victoria..like havin me Xmas dinner with no pigs in blankets. Disgrace,' while a further concurred: 'The spice girls are touring next year but Victoria isn't doing it so what's the point.'

'Victoria Beckham not bothering with that spice girls reunion tour but still getting 1/5 of the money it takes in cus of contracts she signed 25 years ago is absolutely glorious s**thousery,' another mocked.
Other unimpressed Twitter users were quick to mock the band's decision to announce their reunion via a fake broadcasting clip that saw them pretend to squabble over outfit choices, with one writing: 'That Spice Girls announcement video just made me cringe my own skeleton into dust.'
However, there were those who went wild over the announcement, even claiming the news sent them so over the edge they burst into tears. Many international fans also insisted they wouldn't be bound by borders and were planning to book their plane tickets to watch the band on their UK tour.
One wrote: 'I CAN’T DEAL WITH MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! MY 12 YEAR OLD SELF IS CRYING. @spicegirls DEFINITELY FLYING OVER THE POND TO SEE MY FAVORITE GIRL BAND OF ALL TIME. #SpiceGirls #SpiceTour.'
Another enthused: 'IM CRYING AT SCHOOL BC OF THE @SPICEGIRLS THANK GOOD NO ONE IS AROUND.'
Others gushed: 'I am literally for real crying SPICE GIRLS COMEBACK TOUR OMFG,' and, 'I can't even lie, I have been sat at my desk crying at the @spicegirls announcement for the last 40 minutes... I am ready.'
