Spice Girls reportedly set to reunite for world tour
People of the world, it's once again time to spice up your life. World-famous English '90s girl group Spice Girls is reportedly planning to reunite for a world tour to mark their 30-year anniversary. Rumours are swirling that the iconic pop group is getting the gang — Mel B 'Scary Spice', Melanie C, 'Sporty Spice', Emma Bunton 'Baby Spice', Geri Halliwell, Ginger Spice, and Victoria Beckham, 'Posh Spice' — back together again. It's what fans want, it's what they really, really want. Sources told The Sun that Geri Horner, formerly Halliwell, known for her red knee-high platform boots and Union Jack mini-dress, and former band manager Simon Fuller are back in touch, with plans in the works to meet up later this week in Miami to settle a deal. 'There have been rumours swirling for months, but Geri has always been too busy and had other things on, preventing her from saying 'yes',' sources told The Sun. 'Nothing is yet confirmed but Geri and Simon are back in touch with a myriad of exciting ideas.' But sadly, the source said one of the five members will be missing. Victoria Beckham is '90 per cent out of the running' but Geri, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C are all said to be considering a world tour next year. '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,' the source said. 'She would always want to honour the girls' history.' The pop group formed back in 1994, after the girls each responded to an ad for auditions to join a 'manufactured' girl group. They rose to fame after their 1996 debut single 'Wannabe' reached number one on the charts in 37 countries. The Spice Girls, from left, Victoria, Mel C, Geri, Emma, and Mel B, pose for a group portrait in New York Friday, April 11, 1997. Credit: EMILE WAMSTEKER / AP They went on to sell over 100 million records worldwide and have nine number one singles in their four-year run, and are widely considered the best-selling girl group of all time. They officially broke up in 2001, with Geri Spice leaving the group earlier in '98. But they have given fans a little spice every so often, reuniting for tours over the years including a tour in 2007 and a performance at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. Posh was also missing from their last tour in 2019, which sold 700,000 tickets across 13 sold-out stadiums in UK and Ireland. Mel C also hinted at plans for a 2026 reunion earlier this year on Australia radio, giving fans hope. 'We have to do something special,' she said, speaking on Sydney's 2Day FM in March. 'Obviously, I can't say too much but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour!'
