Geri: 'We won't make profit from tour'

Geri Halliwell has claimed that it is unlikely that the Spice Girls will make a profit from their reunion tour.

The singer said that, despite reports that the girls were getting paid millions of pounds to perform, they will be lucky if they break even because of the costs of putting on the shows.

She is quoted as saying: "The truth of the matter is, to put on this tour has cost $37 million (£18.6 million). We have done this purely to celebrate our fans, the music and ourselves.

"This is not a money-making expedition. It really isn't. Hopefully we will break even but it's never been about that.

"If we take home a pay cheque that's fantastic, but this is about party and celebration."
