Spice Girls are reforming in 2016? -- Mel B confirms

[Pete.]

The Spice Girls will reportedly mark their 20th anniversary with a world tour - without Victoria Beckham.

The girl group released their debut single in 1996 and will celebrate two decades in the spotlight by hitting the road together next year.

However, Victoria - known as Posh Spice in her pop star hey-day - will sit the trek out, deciding to focus on her ever-expanding global fashion brand instead.
A source tells The Sun: 'There is a huge demand for the Spice Girls to get back together, especially with the nostalgia around the two-decade anniversary of their first release next summer.

'Mel B flew into London last month to secretly agree the plan with the other three girls. They should each make more than ten million pounds from this.'

Victoria - who took part in the group's 2007-2008 reunion tour and their appearance at the London Olympics closing ceremony three years ago - still has the option to take part but insists she is too busy.

A spokesperson for Victoria tells MailOnline: 'Victoria loved her time as a Spice Girl and wishes the girls nothing but success & happiness however she is now too busy running her brand and fulfilling the needs of her family.'

Poor Victoria snubbed
She snubbed it haself

[Josy]

Emma has quite a large forehead doesn't she

[reece(:]

Vic only rarely did vocals so not much will be missed.

[Liam-]

Praise the lord :worship:

[LukeB]

Posh is terrible anyway, so here for it

[LukeB]

The picture in the OP >>> moody bitch

[Glenn.]

Two decades in the spotlight.
Did the batteries run out in between then?

[Saph]

whos gonna sing Viccys line in Say You'll Be There?

[Natalie.]

Great news :amazed:

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Johnnyuk123]

Looking forward to the dance routines on mobility scooters! :hehe:

[Withano]

Remember that time they made history? They should have left it at that. Now they're just tacky and desperate.

[Braden]

Happy, but not so happy.

I am without a doubt gonna see them if they end up touring, even if kills me. But it's sad that Victoria won't be there, it just wouldn't feel right.

[T*]

they better do eurovision

[Z]

Not sure why everyone's losing their **** over Victoria not doing it, she's perfectly entitled to sit it out - Mel C and Emma are great singers and it's always a joy to see them perform; the other two are pushy and talentless and a bit on the tacky side, Geri moreso than Mel B. Meh.

[Pete.]

Ahead of her hosting gig at the VH1 Big Music in 2015: You Oughta Know concert tonight (9 p.m. ET on VH1), Mel B sat down with Billboard for a chat.

Do your kids ever sing your Spice Girls songs?

Yeah, they do actually. My youngest does but I think she just does it because she thinks it's funny.

Is the 4-year-old aware that it's you?

She's seen the videos because my 8-year-old plays it and goes, "Oh my God, that's mummy!" And my 4-year-old is like, "no it's not." So they're kind of aware. But to them I'm just mom who has an exciting job so they get to come on set, see everything. They know we're possibly going on tour next year so they get to meet all the other girls. So it's lovely.

So the tour is potentially happening?

Potentially, yeah. Once we sort everything out we make an announcement, but right now we're just figuring it all out. Next year is your 20 anniversary so we're really just trying to make sure something happens.

Yesss

[Samm]

Hope they release at least one new song <\3

[iRyan]

They NEED to release another bop. I don't want some flop ass ballad like Headlines. Get them in the studio with Max Martin, it would smash.

[reece(:]

Yas girls!

[MB.]

Nice to see they're being let out of their nursing homes for a night or two

[lostalex]

n*sync was better.

[Pete.]

Hope they release at least one new song <\3
Lol they'll probably release a demo from 20 years ago

[Jamie89]

YES :cheer2:

Would be great if it was all 5 but if there has to be one not taking part, I'd prefer it to be Posh personally

And if they're going to do another single it had better be better than the trash that was 'Headlines'

Mel C has said the Spice Girls HAVE to mark 20 years since first releasing Wannabe by reuniting.

Melanie - who is originally from Rainhill and grew up in Widnes - revealed the girls would love to get back together next year.

And she reckoned London’s Hyde Park and Glastonbury would be perfect venues.

She said: “It’s 20 years since Wannabe and we have to celebrate it in some way.

“We would love to do something so fingers crossed.”

They had huge success with their reunion tour in December 2007 - but that was as a five piece.

Now Mel C is reportedly refusing to go ahead with a second comeback tour, which will mark the band's 20th anniversary in 2016, without fifth member Victoria Beckham.

According to reports in The Sun, Mel, 41, formerly known as Sporty Spice, is arguing that Posh Spice needs to rejoin Emma Bunton, Mel B and Geri Horner for the tour to be a success.

A source told the newspaper: 'To fulfill this Mel believes the band has to be the original five-piece and Victoria needs to be involved.'

[Livia]

Haven't we suffered enough ffs...

[Jamie89]

:bawling:

They didn't need Posh when she was in the band, and they don't need her now. Reform already :fist:

[Denver]

You Go Posh I will not let this happen without you

[iRyan]

I feel like Posh is the only member they can do with out tbh...she was alright back in the day but now she's so ****ing vacant you could bring a cardboard cut-out on tour and no one would notice

[Pete.]

They last performed as a five-piece during their 2007/2008 reunion tour.

And Mel B has now confirmed she is masterminding the Spice Girls' comeback for 2016, hinting the group are set to mark their 20th anniversary in style.

The 40-year-old singer-turned-presenter was quizzed about the possibility of a reunion on Alan Carr's New Year's Specstacular, and the crowd cheered with delight at Mel's positive reaction to the rumours.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/12/27/13/2FA1814600000578-3375333-image-a-13_1451224009063.jpg

'I think I’m the one putting all the rumours out there', she joked.

'To be serious, it is out twentieth anniversary this year and it would be rude not to celebrate so hopefully something will be happening pretty soon.'

Mel, formerly known as Scary Spice, refused to give away any details, however. When pressed further by Alan, she retorted, 'I can’t tell you what it is yet!'

The 2 Become 1 singer's candid confession comes after it was claimed that Mel C was refusing to go ahead with the reunion without Victoria, who is too busy with her fashion empire to make it work.

A source told The Sun last week: 'To fulfill this Mel believes the band has to be the original five-piece and Victoria needs to be involved.'

The Spice Girls originally agreed on an 'indefinite hiatus' in 1998 when Ginger Spice Geri decided to leave the group.

What's the point though?

[Pete.]

What's the point though?
The money

[Denver]

Is Money worth the potential damage to their legacy? There was a reason ABBA turned down a $1 billion offer to reform

[Pete.]

Spice Girls > ABBA

[Denver]

Nobody will ever hit the hights of ABBA up to 500 million sold compared to about 100 million of the Spice Girls

[Pete.]

Such flops!

[Kizzy]

They were ok not as good as bananarama though :idc:

[Denver]

Everyone still loves ABBA not even band members care about Spice Girls

[Ross.]

They last performed as a five-piece during their 2007/2008 reunion tour.

what kind of Olympics 2012 shade?

[Denver]

They need Vicky more then she needs them

[T*]

can they do eurovision

[Pete.]

Apparently they're touring with the Backstreet Boys :rolleyes:

[Pete.]

After months of speculation about a Spice Girls reunion, Geri Horner says it will just be "the four of us".

But Ginger Spice did admit that there's nothing "definite or concrete" but "when it's definite we'll announce it together".

Victoria Beckham has said in the past that she has no plans to reunite with Baby, Scary, Ginger and Sporty.

"Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party," she told Vanity Fair magazine last year.

"Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. I was so proud to do it. That was a perfect time to say, 'That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more.'

The five girls reunited in 2012 to take part in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

It's the most viewed video on the official Olympics YouTube channel.

Mel B recently told Newsbeat they were "definitely looking to do something to celebrate" the 20th anniversary of Girl Power.

Their first album Spice came out in 1996 as did Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1.
