Rarely a season goes by without rumours of a Spice Girls reunion. Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell Horner, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C can Next year, however, marks the 30th anniversary of their debut single, 'Wannabe', so what better time to celebrate (and make a few million each)?
Apparently, Geri Halliwell has been back in touch with artist manager Simon Fuller and they are set to meet up in Miami this week to work out a deal, as per The Sun. The rumoured plan is for four of the Spice Girls, Geri, Mel, Mel and Emma, to embark on a global tour next year. Victoria is said to be '90 per cent out of the running'.
'There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying yes,' an insider told the publication.
'Unfortunately Victoria has pretty much ruled herself out, but there is still a world in which she could do some sort of avatar appearance or a special one-off thing,' they added. 'She would always want to honour the girls' history.'
If that sounds confusing, allow us to explain. The 'avatar appearance' would likely follow in the footsteps of ABBA Voyage's 'ABBAtars'. In the popular Stratford show, the four ABBA members perform as avatars using advanced motion capture and computer-generated imagery and are projected onto an LED screen. More advanced than holograms, the avatars look true to life (or the '70s in ABBA's case) and perform 20 songs up to twice a day in London.
If Victoria were to join the Spice Girls world tour in this capacity, it would mean she is projected onto the screen in 3D avatar form, while the other four perform in real life. However, she may well join the band for a one-off performance during the tour too.
When Mel C was asked about the big anniversary on Australia's 2Day FM last month she said, 'We have to do something special. Obviously I can't say too much but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour!'
Talking to The Sunday Times earlier this year, Geri also said: 'We love each other. I love them, I care about them, and we want the best for each other. We shared something so monumental. We've always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful.'
'My hope is we come back together as a collective. It's more respectful to come as one, so we'll come as one.'

The Spice Girls last went on tour in 2019 without Victoria where they sold out 13 stadium tours in the UK and Ireland, reportedly earning £4.4 million each. However, the last time all five members reunited on stage – other than at Victoria's 50th birthday party last year – was in 2012 when they sang at the London Olympics closing ceremony.
Prior to this, they joined forces for the Return of the Spice Girls Tour in 2007, a 47-show medley that ran from December 2007 to February 2008.
If (hopefully when) the Spice Girls 2026 world tour is announced, you will hear more from us, including how to get tickets, where they are performing and in what futuristic capacity Posh will be joining them on stage.
