Spice Girl Concert Scare

Posted on December 3, 2007

The Spice Girls’ tour is officially underway but there was concern about the concert lineup after Geri Halliwell’s daughter contracted chicken pox. Geri’s 18-month-old daughter Bluebell was flown back to the UK because Geri was terrified she and the rest of the band might catch the highly-contagious disease before their world tour started on Sunday.

A source close to the singer told Britain’s “The Sun” newspaper: “Chicken pox is very contagious and when Geri noticed the spots on Bluebell she panicked and warned the rest of the girls. Older people who get chicken pox sometimes develop shingles, which could wipe the band out for weeks.”

It looks like the tour kicked off without any signs of the disease affecting the girl group – reviews have been pretty positive about the first performance of th Spice Girls’ reunion.
