Earlier today (May 2), it was confirmed that the musical based on the collective career of the Spice Girls will come to a close this summer.

The show, called 'Viva Forever!', only launched seven months ago in London but a cast member named Anthony Topham revealed that despite being given an extension until February 24 it will now wrap up on June 29 due to poor attendance.

Spice Girls beauty Emma Bunton took to her official Twitter page this afternoon to share her thoughts on the sad news and wrote: "I am totally gutted that our wonderful show @vivaforever is coming to an end. Thank you to all our amazing fans for your constant support!"

Mel C also weighed in on 'Viva Forever!' being taken off stage and added: "Absolutely devastated our wonderful show is closing. Thank you to our brilliant cast and everybody who made the show so incredible."

In February, the 'Say You'll Be There' stars revealed plans to try and take the production across the pond to Manhattan so it could be shown on Broadway and confirmed that 'talks' were in the works to make the move a reality.
