Posh avoids Mel C solo show

Victoria Beckham has snubbed bandmate Melanie C by failing to show at her solo gig in New York.

Fellow Spice Girls Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown all appeared to cheer on Mel C as she played to a half-empty Manhattan Centre on Saturday.

Posh had been attending New York Fashion Week and her absence adds to speculation that the group are at odds following the cancellation of their reunion tour.

Mel C expressed her displeasure at the tour being cut short, releasing a statement saying: "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."

The band have called rumours of a bust up with Victoria "rubbish" but have yet to comment on her absence from Mel C's show.
