“Mama I love you’ stars, Spice Girls have announced their first tour for a decade, with six UK stadium dates scheduled for June 2019.
Four members of the group, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie Chisholm, revealed details of the reunion tour in a video on social media on Monday. Victoria Beckham, will however, not be part of it.
BBC reported that, the girl group will kick off the tour at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on 1 June 2019, with tickets for all dates going on sale on Saturday.
According to the report, the foursome will also perform in Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh and Bristol, finishing at London’s Wembley Stadium. They will be supported by Jess Glynne.
The video is in the style of a news bulletin, and sees the girls bickering over Geri’s outfit before breaking into song – with a voiceover declaring the Spice Girls tour “a shock announcement.”
A press release said Victoria, who runs a multi-million pound fashion label, would not join the girls on tour due to “business commitments.”
She said in a statement that, “Being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish my girls so much love and fun as they go back on tour, I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time!”
Earlier on Monday, Mel B announced there would also be a world tour to follow, adding that she still hoped Victoria would feature in some of the shows.
Mel B took a swipe at her bandmate by dressing up as Victoria for Halloween and holding a sign that read: “No I am not going on tour.”
Scary was joined by a friend dressed as David Beckham, who held a sign saying: “Please, please, please do it for the Spice Girls fans.”
Asked what Victoria made of the costume, Mel B said she thought she would find it funny, but also acknowledged the pair’s rocky relationship.
“I think she found it a bit funny, but at the same time [there’s a] bit of a love-hate relationship,” she said.
Following the announcement, Geri said: “I am so excited, together we celebrate girl power with our fans and the next generation and everyone is welcome.
The group was originally formed in 1994. Their success was notable worldwide which attracted fans. They have sold over 85 million of their records worldwide and achieved the highest debut for a UK group on the billboard 200 albums chart at the same time.
In addition, the spice girls achieved the highest annual earnings by an all-female group in 1998. They dominated the music world the moment they their first single ‘Wanna be’ in 1998 was released.
Under the influence of their mentor, Simon Fuller, the girls took over the world with their infectious pop hits and colorful characters. They had the world at their feet until 2000 and even then the, the fivesome were a force to be reckoned with.
The girl group originally split in 2000 after performing for two years as a four piece, following Geri’s departure. All five returned for a reunion tour in 2007 and again in 2012 to perform at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.
