According to The Spice Girls’ accounts, there is still interest in their music despite rumors that they will reunite for a massive world tour.
The Spice Girls made more than £600,000 last year from money-spinning record sales – fuelling speculation that there could be a 30th anniversary reunion. Accounts for their firm Spice Girls Ltd show that they received £613, 275 in royalties for 2023.
The firm also retained more than £32,000 in cash in its coffers. Geri Horner and band guru Simon Fuller are said to be back in touch, with rumours the pair were meeting up in Miami earlier this year.
Victoria Beckham has told pals she is “90 percent out of the running” but Geri, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C are said to be considering a lucrative world tour next year. There have even been claims that Victoria could appear as an ‘avatar’, used in the hugely successful Abba shows in London. The Spice Girls’ debut single ‘Wannabe’ was released in 1996 and propelled them to global fame. The latest accounts show there is still an appetite for their music, and suggest a demand to see them in concert.
Mel Brown has hinted that a world tour is possible. They would follow in the footsteps of Beyonce and Taylor Swift, who enjoyed hugely lucrative ticket sales for their shows. Taylor Swift grossed £1.4bn in ticket sales.
This week, Mel, known as Scary Spice, made hints that the girls might have other plans in mind.
“We’ve got a year to work on them. Let’s put it that way,” she said. The group has not performed as a five piece since the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony. They did a reunion tour in 2019 without Victoria.
As part of Victoria’s celebrations for her 50th birthday, all five of the five spent an evening together in April of last year. They were hoping to get back together once more, which was strengthened by this.
Band members have spoken openly of that as a possibility for next year. As a guest on Australia ’s 2Day FM in March, Mel C said: “It’s 30 years next year since the release of Wannabe. We have to do something special.
We are talking about things, of course, but I can’t say too much. A fun little world tour, I hope.
I hoped that we would come back together as a collective in April, Geri said.
