For the first time since 2012, the Spice Girls have reunited in the same room for a catch-up with former manager Simon Fuller. Regrouping at Geri Horner née Halliwell’s home in Hertfordshire on February 2, the gang took to Instagram with a photo announcing that “#girlpower is alive and well”.
After sharing a few more snaps of the reunion – which soon made their way across social media – the five members of the iconic ’90s group released a statement confirming plans to work on “new opportunities”.
“We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching up and reminiscing about the amazing times we have spent together”, notes the band in a statement.“We are always overwhelmed at how much interest there is across the whole world for The Spice Girls.” The statement goes on to reveal:
“The time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together. We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of The Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of female empowerment for future generations.”
“It’s very exciting”
According to The Sun, the Spice Girls are getting ready to unveil a series of ventures including TV projects in China, a new TV talent show, endorsement deals and a compilation album celebrating their greatest hits.
The project is thought to be led by Simon Fuller who has apparently managed to convince Victoria Beckham to take part – on the condition that she doesn’t have to sing (I’m sorry but…LMAO). As a source close to the group revealed:
“This is the pop reunion no one thought would ever happen again. But after a long period of negotiation Victoria agreed the time is right to work on new projects this year. It’s very exciting because she has always been adamant she wouldn’t go back.”
As a reminder, the Spice Girls split in 2000 before teaming up again for a world tour in 2007-08. They then teamed up to close the London Olympic Games ceremony in 2012, just ahead of Spice Girls musical Viva Forever!.
Back in 2016, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner were rumoured to return to the stage but nothing ended up coming of the hearsay.
