One of the most recognizable pop stars of the 1990s is The Spice Girls. They were the brains of Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham, and they achieved fame with their smash hit debut single Wannabe.
Victoria Beckham has hinted she could be ready to return to the stage with the Spice Girls, describing the idea of a comeback as “tempting”- and even backing the idea of a Las Vegas residency.
Ahead of their 30th anniversary next year – marking three decades since their debut single Wannabe – the group has hinted that something big is in the works. The 51-year-old, who originally shot to fame as Posh Spice in the 1990s, admitted she’s open to the group reuniting at the state-of-the-art Sphere venue in Vegas, though ruled out the idea of a full-blown tour.
Speaking on US radio station Sirius XM, she said, “It would be tempting. But could I take on a world tour? No I can’t. I have a job… How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere! I love the idea of it. I mean I don’t know if I could even still sing, I mean I was never that great!”
With acts like U2 and The Eagles, The Sphere, which has a capacity of 20, 000 and wraparound LED screens, has grown to be one of Vegas’ most sought-after venues. No Doubt will reappear there for 12 shows in the coming year.
Since 2008, The Spice Girls haven’t performed in the United States, and Victoria hasn’t since the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
She notably missed Geri Halliwell-Horner, Mel B, Emma Bunton, and Melanie C’s 2019 UK stadium tour, which was staged for sold-out crowds.
Fans are anticipating that all five band members will reunite in 2026, which will be a significant year for the band.
Melanie C has also sparked renewed reunion hopes. She stated, “I would love that,” when she spoke to Radio 2. I request that that the country make that happen.
She made it clear that discussions are taking place earlier this year, but she also acknowledged that not everyone is yet fully invested.
She said, “We have to acknowledge that the upcoming year is a significant year for us,” in some way. “So we are discussing what that will look like, and Emma, Melanie, I’m certain, and I know for sure, we would be back on stage.” However, there are times when someone needs to be a little more convincing.
She continued, “It would be the best thing ever, ever, ever, to have a full reunion of the five members.” And occasionally, it feels like a duty to the world.
The news follows the release of Victoria Beckham’s own Netflix docuseries, arriving two years after the huge success of Beckham, which focused on her husband, David. However, despite Netflix’s backing, Victoria Beckham: The Rise of Posh Spice has reportedly attracted less than half the audience of David’s series, according to Deadline.
