Spice Up Your Life

Four of the five spice girls – Geri Horner, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton – are kicking off a reunion tour. The beloved group that championed “girl power” first formed in 1994 in the U.K. and produced several hits, including “Wannabe,” “2 Become 1,” and “Say You’ll Be There.”

Victoria Beckham, wife of soccer star David Beckham and one of the original Spice Girls, will not participate in the reunion tour. Despite rumors her refusal to participate caused a rift between Beckham and Melanie Brown, Beckham wished her fellow Spice Girls luck on Instagram.

“Victoria has made it clear that she won’t make a cameo appearance on the Spice Girls tour, even before rehearsals began. She’s confirmed she is ‘definitely not’ going to be taking to the stage alongside her band-mates, even in hologram form,” Yahoo News reported. “Speaking to The Guardian Weekend magazine, the singer revealed that her fashion line had prevented her from returning to stadiums. When asked whether it was a difficult decision, she replied: ‘Not at all. What I do now are my passion and a full-time job.'”

However, Beckham told reporters that she expects to “get jealous” watching the other Spice Girls perform. “Good luck to the girls today as they start their tour!” Beckham wrote on Instagram below a picture of Horner, Brown, Chisholm, and Bunton taking the stage.
