“There’s a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note”.

Meanwhile, Geri has been working with Mel B and Emma on new Spice Girls music and a new track, “Song For Her”, their first material for nine years, was leaked last month.
The remaining Spice Girls – Geri Horner, Mel B and Emma Bunton will go ahead with the tour.
The threesome, who have renamed themselves GEM as a group, appeared to be having an absolute whale of a time in the absence of their Spice Girls cohorts Victoria Beckham and Mel C. “Anything less than the full line-up just didn’t feel like we’d be doing justice to the band or the fans”. Daily I’m asked ‘are the girls getting back together?’ Then it’s When? How? Why?
Bunton, Halliwell and Brown previously hinted at the prospect of a reunion gig in July next year in Hyde Park, releasing a video saying: “We hope to tell you soon what you want, what you really, really want”.
“The hardest part for me was letting people down, the girls, the fans, civilization?!” We had done it – the fans were happy and we were happy. To say there is still so much buzz about a reunion should tell them that it’s worthwhile – a tour would sell out within minutes. Victoria had already bowed out understandably with the demands of her fashion label and her rather large family.
She said Victoria “wishes us the best”, but wasn’t keen on the idea, and added: “When I was at David’s birthday, we had a chat about it”. But the continuous speculation on whether we will reform to celebrate 20 years of Wannabe has been particularly exhausting.
In an essay for LOVE magazine, the 42-year-old admits she would love to relive the band’s former glory and also acknowledges it would be a big earner for her. “Why can’t we just be remembered for our incredible achievements in the nineties”, she shared.
And Posh, the shrewdest Spice Girl of the all, certainly knows that the 25th anniversary is coming in 2021.

Mel concluded: “We’re constantly reminded of our famous line from Wannabe – friendship never ends”. “I love the band I am beyond proud of my past and will always embrace and celebrate being a Spice Girl, It’s what I am”.
