The Spice Girls still ‘trying’ to come on same page as 30th anniversary nears
The Spice Girls are still “trying” to find a way to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary this year, according to Mel C.
Fans had hoped to see the girl group back on stage to commemorate three decades since the release of their debut single Wannabe and rumours of a tour have since been shut down, but Melanie Chisholm has now insisted the band members are still attempting to find a way to honour their legacy.
Mel C told The Telegraph newspaper, “We are trying to find something we all agree is fitting of the legacy we have created, but that also everyone is comfortable with.”
When asked if a plan will emerge by the time of the anniversary in July, Mel replied, “I see what you’re doing there! It’s very difficult for me to speak on behalf of all of the Spice Girls.”
“All I can say is, I feel very positive that there will be something great that the Spice Girls do at some point, but I don’t know when,” she further stated.
The band, consisting of Mel C along with Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie B and Victoria Beckham, had been rumoured to be planning to reunite as a five-piece for the first time since they performed a series of shows without Victoria in 2019.
However, Mel B insisted the idea has been scrapped, telling HELLO! magazine, “I can tell you that it’s not happening. If it does, it’ll be a shock to me, let’s put it that way. When I look at that (tour) and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time… I’m 50. You can’t be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don’t want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50.”
