Melanie C gives update on Spice Girls reunion shows

The group reformed for a run of stadium gigs in 2019

Melanie C has given an update on a potential Spice Girls reunion tour.

The ’90s girl group – minus Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) – hit the road for the first time in 11 years in 2019, playing a run of huge stadium concerts across the UK and Ireland.

It was reported in 2020 that Spice Girls were set to embark on a world tour to mark their 25th anniversary. Last summer, Emma Bunton (aka Baby Spice) said she was “sure” the band would return to the stage post-COVID.

In November 2021, reports emerged of a possible live comeback in 2023 that could include Beckham. However, further shows are yet to be announced.

Speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 this morning (September 22), Mel C said: “I wish I could say there were shows coming. But I can’t, sadly. We do want to do shows, they’re just not arranged yet.”

She continued: “We’re constantly talking trying to work it out and make it work for everybody. But that yeah, that’s my number one wish.”
