Mel B (right) rose to fame in the 1990s as Scary Spice alongside (left to right) Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice).
Mel B has announced that the Spice Girls will soon be back on tour following their impromptu performance at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party.
The Spice Girls were initially formed at an open audition in London in 1994 and were initially known as Touch.
But in 1996 there were some line-up changes and they changed their name to the Spice Girls before releasing their first hit single, Wannabe, in July of that year.
The group released two record albums titled Spice and Spiceworld before Geri’s surprise release in 1998 and they released one more record before disbanding in 2000.
The Too Much singers reunited in 2007 for a world tour and then performed a medley of their biggest hits at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
They last performed in 2019 for a series of stadium shows, but Victoria opted out and Saturday was the first time the five of them had been seen together since opening their short-lived musical jukebox Viva Forever. a decade ago.
But I Want You Back hitmaker Mel has spoken in recent months about a possible reunion and has repeatedly claimed such a reunion is going to happen.
During an interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, host Kyle Sandilands, 52, revealed he would be in the US for the iHeartRadio music festival in September and was hoping to catch up with the singer.
Mel coyly teased: “If I’m not touring with the Spice Girls, of course I will.”
The Spice Girls enjoyed meteoric success in the late 1990s with two chart-topping albums and a film (pictured at the BRIT Awards in February 1997).
The Spice Girls were initially formed at an open audition in London in 1994 and were initially known as Touch (pictured in archive footage from the 2001 documentary Raw Spice).
Victoria last performed with the band in 2012 at the London Olympics closing ceremony, where they performed Wannabe and Spice Up Your Life.
Just before this, Mel made an appearance on Good Morning Britain where she claimed she was “always scolded” by her bandmates.
She said: “I’m always the one saying the Spice Girls are getting back together and I’m always being scolded, but we’re doing something. I just can’t say…’
And days later, during an appearance on This Morning, Mel revealed she had even been kicked out of the Spice Girls’ WhatsApp group despite her determination to reunite the group in time for their 30th anniversary.
She said: “You know, I get so excited when it comes to the Spice Girls, because it’s been 30 years. And you know, we have a lot of reasons to celebrate that we’re all still healthy and living our lives and still talking.
