Return of the Spice Girls
In June 28, 2007 the Spice Girls announced they will reform for a world tour to take place in December 2006 and January 2008.
Bob Geldof (initiator of "Live 8 ") wanted to reunite the Spice Girls for his last charity "Live 8 concert" together with Robbie Williams and Madonna. Mel B. couldn't make it due to other commitments in Los Angeles, but Bob also added: "Mel B has difficulty going back to something she did in the past."
Years ago the Spice Girls' ex-manager Simon Fuller tried to reunite the Spice Girls about GBP 9 million for a new World Tour. Victoria didn't need the money thanks to "Becks" monthly income. Mel B. and Emma Bunton did consider his offer. Only Mel C refused to even talk about it. She commented in an interview: "My integrity is more valuable than any amount of cash. I am proud of everything we did together but I have moved on. "
In 1993 the girls responded to an advertisement requesting five "lively girls" for a musical group in the summer of 1993.
In 2000 they released their first album "Forever". Besides that they also released a movie called "Spiceworld" - It's about the life of the Spice Girls while they are preparing themselves for their first live gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
They were one of the most succesful female groups of all time - they sold more than 53 million records worldwide. In 1998 Gerri Halliwell decided to leave the Spice Girls and in 2001 the members of the band announced their solo carreers. |
