'Victoria should stick to fashion'

London Singer Dane Bowers has advised his former collaborator Victoria Beckham to stick to fashion and not return to pop music.

The former Spice Girl has been advised by Dane Bowers - who she collaborated with for the single "Out of Your Mind" - not to return to the pop industry as her work as a designer is much better than her musical talent, reports contactmusic.com.

"I think she should stick to fashion design, but she'd probably say that herself. The whole fashion thing is definitely where her future lies," said Dane.

However, the 31-year-old singer insisted Victoria has more vocal ability than she is given credit for.

"She's the first person to say that she's no Mariah Carey, but she can hold a tune. You don't make it as far as the Spice Girls did if you can't sing at all," he said.
