View Full Version : It's official: Spice Girls to reunite for huge tour
The Spice Girls are set for a huge reunion concert this autumn - six years after they split.
All five former members of the Girl Power phenomenon are said to be agreed in principle to a charity concert in London followed by a national tour.
The reunion comes after the success of the Take That revival. The girls would appear with Nineties band Boyzone, who are also reforming, according to industry figures.
"They are really keen to do it if there is a charity angle. They are talking about doing it for Bono's Red campaign. It's been on the cards for a while, at least a couple of months. They are all good friends now," said one source.
Senior executives at TV production company Emap TV, who want to broadcast the concert, are flying to Los Angeles this weekend for detailed talks with Simon Fuller, the band's former manager, who still represents Victoria Beckham.
One sticking point is said to be their £2.5 million-a-head demands for the broadcast rights to the charity concert and tour. Ticket receipts for the concert itself would go to charity.
Details of the concert are still being negotiated but it would have to be after the birth of Baby Spice Emma Bunton's first baby in the summer. Scary Spice Melanie Brown is also due to give birth in March.
Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell had a daughter, Bluebell Madonna last May. The fifth member is Sporty Spice Melanie Chisholm.
The plans involve a concert at a huge London venue, possibly Hyde Park, in September or October.
It will be 11 years after the Spice Girls exploded on to the pop scene with their debut single Wannabe, still the biggest selling single by an all-female group.
A further eight No 1s followed before they broke up in February 2001 after record sales of 55 million. Halliwell left the band in 1998.
The Beckhams are close to U2 front man Bono, whose Red campaign raises money to help victims of Aids. Last year David appeared in a TV advert for the Motorola's Red Razr mobile phone, which generates a contribution to the charity every time it is used.
There have been a succession of rumours about a reunion, particularly at the time of the Live 8 concert in 2005. Earlier this month Beckham, Bunton and Halliwell were spotted having dinner together at Nobu restaurant in London, leading to renewed speculation.
Bunton was recently asked about a reunion on the Richard and Judy TV show and replied: "I would love to. Even the other girls have said they'd love to do it. It would be great."
Im sure Music Lovers all over Britain will be jumping for joy at this.. It will make American Odol look World Class:sick:

I really, really hope this is not true....:mad:
They were bad enough the first time around...with their 'girl power' gimmick.
I remember being unimpressed with them as a young teenage gal, so there's no way now I be rushing out to buy a ticket for their 'reunion tour' rather flush the cash down the loo...lol
Then again...I might tune in if its broadcast on TV for five/ten mins, if they were actually to sing LIVE as it might be hugely entertaining.. because I think there's only Mel C and the bambino spice one who can sing.
I couldn't care less what you all think, this is brilliant news.
They were never the best, but having them return is a chance to revisit my childhood. Brought up on these at the age of 5 or whatever, brilliant! :D

Judging by the amount of references to their song titles, I reckon you know more about the spice girls than you're letting on. You sure your not a closet Spice Girls fan Alan? :p

I'm happy for all you fans out there, but I certainly won't be watching or listening (just like I didn't watch or listen for Take That either - apologies TT fans aswell)

Totally agree with you. They have had their time and being very lucky really to achieve the level of fame/riches they have achieved with minimum talent. They should just leave it, including their spouting about 'girl power', behind. They belong in the past. :D

I don't get all these 90's bands reforming. What's the point?
As JoJo said, they've had their day and made a sack load of money. They should leave the Spice Girls in the past.
If it was an event for charity only then I'd be in favour. But not for a UK tour. And you're not telling me Vicky Beckham is going to give up all her creature comforts and tour the UK with the SG.
"They are really keen to do it if there is a charity angle...
One sticking point is said to be their £2.5 million-a-head demands for the broadcast rights to the charity concert.
Says it all really, they're only after the money.

Agreed! [Except I think they are the best :p]
Eeeeee! I am so happy! I LOVED the SGs! *Is dancing around the room singing their songs now :cheer:*
Girl Power :D
I wouldnt mind going to see them I used to love them

i dont think i could bear to see victoria beckhams overinflated ego any bigger than it already is. i dont actually mind the other 4 too much but she is just talentless and lives off the media.
No, no, no, no, no. Their album had me make a prat out of myself, and my Mum always thought they were babyish.
god know, how can they do this to the nation of the united kingdom, it was bad enough first time round.

The Spice Girls are hoping to regroup for another comeback tour - but the bandmembers are struggling to convince Victoria Beckham to return, according to a report.
The Wannabe hitmakers thrilled fans when they returned for a sold-out world trek in 2007 and 2008 - the first time the original line-up had performed together since Geri Halliwell quit to go solo in 1998.
Following the jaunt, Beckham vowed to hang up her microphone for good to concentrate on her fashion ventures.
The girl group is now reportedly eager to get back on stage - but singers Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm are struggling to persuade Beckham to join them, according to the Daily Mirror.
A source tells the publication, "The girls are so excited. They are buzzing about getting back together and each have so many new ideas and so much to bring to the table.
"They are desperate to get Posh (Beckham) on board, but that is the sticking point.
"Although she's still so nostalgic about the good old days, she has moved on now and is relishing the fashion world. They don't want to give up on her, but have so many plans.
"The way things are going they might have to go on without her if she doesn't come round soon."

What a load of rubbish. I liked them when I was young, but this news is just making me think - WHY??? for the money, yes, but who seriously cares about them anymore? They are doing okay solo. Looks like Victoria does have brains after all :D

Not to sound to bitchy but are they not getting on a bit???
Maybe Victoria has realised that she really can't sing :hmm:
Getting on a bit in their 30s :( Thank you moonstorm, that has made me feel real old now :lol:

Haha, no I didn't mean they were old, compared to them I am well past it!! I meant there were getting on a bit to sing teeny bopper songs.
:rotfl: That is ok then, hahaha :D They still seem to be popular, although I never was a fan at any time
