The Spice Girls reunion is really happening – but Victoria Beckham is too busy to commit
- The 1990s British girl-power band will play Wembley Stadium in 2019
- The group will take the stage in six cities across Britain next year
The Spice Girls on Monday released details of a 2019 UK reunion tour which will see them play Wembley Stadium, Britain’s biggest venue, but without Victoria Beckham.
The 1990s pop phenomenon will take the stage in six cities across Britain next year, kicking off in Manchester on June 1 and culminating at Wembley two weeks later.
All five former bandmates announced plans earlier this year to perform together again for the first time since 2012, but it has since emerged Beckham – “Posh Spice” – will not take part.
In a video shared on the band’s newly-created Twitter account, the four remaining members staged a mock news broadcast to confirm the tour, featuring them starting to sing one of their old songs.
Ahead of the announcement Melanie Brown (Mel B or “Scary Spice”) left the door open to Beckham, now a respected fashion designer, still getting involved.
“It’s just the four of us that are fully confirmed, but you know, Vic might join us at some point,” she told Britain’s ITV.
