The Spice Girls are making a comeback!
Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and yes Geri, have reunited today for the very first time to announce their official reunion.
Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) -- officially re-formed for the first time in nearly ten years
Straight out the gate, one question dominated the event: Why reunite now? "Why now?" Mel B responded. "Why not?" "It's now or never," added Geri."We wanted to say a proper goodbye to our fans all over the world," said Mel C.The five ladies will do just that with an 11-date, six-continent world tour, beginning December 7 in Los Angeles, and will include stops in New York, Las Vegas, Beijing, Sydney, Madrid, London and Buenos Aires, among other cities. "That's a lot of world, a lot of people and a lot of fun," Geri said.
They plan to sing songs from each of their albums, including the third, 2000's 'Forever,' on which Geri doesn't appear (she left the group in 1998). But she said that won't stop her; Mel B plans to let Geri sing some of her lines. The Girls do, however, have a few songs they're most looking forward to performing. Among them, 'Wannabe' (Mel B's pick), 'Too Much' (Victoria's) -- but Mel C couldn't decide on one. "We've got so many great songs," she said.
When asked what the shows would be like, the whip-smart Geri deadpanned, "There will be five girls, music, lights and topless dancers."
"Are you going to be doing that?" Mel B shot back.
"We want it to be spectacular," Mel C said.
