Some members of the Spice Girls are reluctant to reunite next year.
The band are planning a huge tour in 2026 to celebrate 30 years since the release of debut single ‘Wannabe’ was released but Mel C – who formed the band alongside Mel B, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner – admitted not everyone is on board.
Speaking on the ‘No Filter with Kate Langbroek’ podcast, Mel C said: “Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way.
“So we are talking about what that’s going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we’d be back on stage. But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.”
Mel revealed she would love to reunite with all of her bandmates on stage for the first time since 2012 and said: “It would be the best thing ever, ever, ever. And sometimes it feels like a duty to the world.
“When we did the shows in 2019 [as a quartet], it brought so much joy to so many people. Not everybody likes the Spice Girls but loads of people do.
“We’re living in this weird world right now. There’s so much negativity and mad s*** going on. Let’s all spice up our lives.”
However, Mel admitted that the band have an agreement not to speak to Mel B about the plans as she can’t keep a secret.
She explained: “We’ve decided now we’re not going to tell Mel anything because she can’t keep her mouth shut.
“So don’t listen to Mel B because she doesn’t know, because we’re not telling her.”
