The band of Spice Girls (Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Baby and Scary) have confirmed a world tour which will take them to every continent in December and January. The tour is being put together by Simon Fuller, whose 19 company masterminded the group’s global success more than a decade ago.
They insist the reunion is nothing to do with needing the money, but the estimation is that each one will make around £10 million from this tour.
The tour kicks off on 7th December from Los Angeles, the new home of Victoria Beckham & Family. Except for Melanie Chisholm, all of them will be mothers by the time the tour comes around.
Victoria Beckham said,
My main reason for doing this is for my kids – so that they can see what mummy used to do. I’m going to be the cool one in the family for once.
When asked about the arguments that dogged the group and led to their break up, Melanie Chrisholm said,
We are like family. We may fall out but we always come back together. Like Today
