"Geri Halliwell has announced her retirement from the music business and put the dampers on a Spice Girls revival.

In an interview with Britain's OK! magazine, Halliwell said she had no musical ambitions and no desire to record another solo album.

She said: "As far as music is concerned, I feel like I've given it my best. When I see how desperate people are for that chance, I realize I've had my turn and now I have to let it go."

Halliwell also revealed that the Spice Girls would have reunited for last year's Live 8 charity concert, but that former bandmate Mel B pulled out. "We were all ready, apart from Mel B," she said.

It is now doubtful whether a reunion will ever happen, she added. "Victoria [Beckham, aka Posh Spice] said maybe it's time to move on and I think she's got a point," she said. "Maybe it's better to keep the Spice Girls as a memory, but never say never. A taxi driver said to me we could still do a reunion even if one of us didn't want to."
