Nineteen years after leaving Spice Girls in the middle of a world tour, Geri Halliwell has apologised to fans on Twitter for her sudden exit.

Yesterday, a fan account tweeted a compilation video about Halliwell's disappearance from the tour, writing, "19 years ago today, it was announced that @GeriHalliwell had left the Spice Girls in the middle of their world tour."

To which, the "Lift Me Up" hitmaker replied, "I'm sorry about that... Everything works out in the end, that's what my mum says!"

The 44-year-old singer announced her departure from the English pop girl group on May 31 1998, stating, "Sadly I would like to confirm that I have left the Spice Girls. This is because of differences between us."
