London, Jan 13 (TIWN) Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham says she was inspired to step away from the popular band Spice Girls by legendary English singer-songwriter Elton John.

"He performed 'Tiny Dancer,' as if it were the first time, and you realized this was like oxygen for him," the 46-year-old wrote, referring to John's Las Vegas residency. "It was a life-changing moment — while singing and dancing was fun for you, it wasn't your passion."   "That day, you started your quest to uncover your own dreams. It was time to step away from being a Spice Girl," she added. "For the first time, you were venturing out on your own, and it was terrifying. It was scary to close a chapter that defined you."
