Spice Girls Reunite To Announce World Tour

All five of the Spice Girls came together on Thursday (June 28) to announce their long-awaited reunion as a “thank you” to their fans. The day marked the first time that all five have appeared in public together since Ginger Spice walked out nine years ago.

“Imagine you got divorced and you’ve got back together with your ex-husband,” Geri said of being reunited with her band mates. Meanwhile, Victoria quipped: “She just appreciates the fact we’ve let her back in.”

Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell all seemed extremely excited to be back in the Spice roles. And there wasn’t much doubt amongst the girls over whether or not the tour will be a success.

Halliwell told press of the reunion: “I like to think our songs are universal and they are timeless.”

And when Mel B was asked whether it was a comeback, she said: “Where did we go?”

But before hitting the road, the group has to plan with their seven Baby Spices in mind… feeling that the experience will be beneficial for their young ones.

Posh said: “We’re definitely going to have a huge creche (infant bed). Our priority is going to be our families. We want to have fun. That’s one of the many reasons for this, for our children to see what we used to do.”

The highly anticipated reunion tour includes 11 dates on six continents, beginning in Los Angeles on December 7. Along with the tour, a greatest hits album will be released in time for Christmas.
