Posh pulls the plug on potential Spice Girls tour

IT’S like history repeating (and not in the way fans were hoping). After getting us all excited last week and sending the internet into a frenzy, reports the Spice Girls may be going on tour have been quashed yet again, by Posh Spice herself.

Victoria Beckham clearly has a lot of love for her bandmates and while the meeting definitely means something is in the works, unfortunately that won’t necessarily be making new music or touring together.

“I’m not going on tour. The girls aren’t going on tour,” she told Vogue UK during a preview of her autumn/winter 2018 collection in New York today.

In 2012 the girls reformed for a special performance at the London Olympics and this generated a heap of buzz that they might get back together.

But while each of the girls have, at various times, denied they would ever don the big hair and sparkly outfits again, it’s Beckham’s dedication to her fashion line that seems to yet again be taking priority.

This year she celebrates a decade in the fashion industry, with a brand that has clearly cemented itself as a favourite on the runway and a winner for the singer-come-designer.

“This is what I do.”

While Beckham and the other girls won’t disclose what’s in store for the Spice Girls’ future, the media has speculated that if a tour doesn’t eventuate, there may be talks with the Royals about a possible performance at Harry and Meghan’s upcoming wedding.

They performed for the British royal family at 1997’s Royal Variety Show and have remained friends with the Prince of Wales as well as his sons.

This technically falls under the ‘reunion’ classification and would definitely warrant a meeting with former manager Simon Fuller. A one-off performance, even at the private wedding, would mean a ridiculous amount of publicity for the girls (and their side ventures).

“There’s something so strong in the message of what the Spice Girls stood for. What is that in the future? What does that look like? We were just bouncing ideas around. Brainstorming,” Beckham told Vogue.

Another idea doing the rounds is a potential sequel to the 1997 film Spice World.

“Is that what you really, really want?” Beckham quipped.

“I remember that movie. I was so upset when they made me wear that tight little army dress. And Harper Beckham, who’s only watched Spice World once, says, ‘Mummy, I love that bit when everyone’s in the really cool clothes and you’re in the tight little army dress!’”

While Beckham is reserved about what she will and won’t do with the reunion, she did say, “You know, there’s so much bad stuff going on, and the Spice Girls were about fun and celebrating individuality. I think there’s so much that the brand can do, and it’s such a positive message for young kids.”
