Mel B on future Spice Girls reunion: “In a perfect world, we’d already be on tour”

Mel B has reaffirmed her stance on wanting a Spice Girls’ reunion, saying that she wishes that they were “already on tour” at this point.

The singer, also known as Scary Spice, spoke to Page Six about the ongoing rumours of a reunion for the iconic girl group in time for their 30th anniversary this summer.

She has been outspoken about her eagerness to return in the past, and said in May last year that she was “always game” when it came to hitting the road with Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Geri Halliwell-Horner and Emma Bunton again.

Doubling down on her stance in the latest interview, the singer said that she would love to share the news of a comeback, but revealed that it is unlikely to come anytime soon.

“In a perfect world, we’d already be on tour right now, touring the whole entire world,” she told Page Six. “I’m always the one going, ‘Yes, we’re going on tour’. I would love to go on tour. I would love to do music… but it isn’t happening.”

The comments build on that of what Mel C – Sporty Spice – said last week, when she shared that there will be no Spice Girls 30th reunion tour this year, despite the group “want[ing] to do something”.

“We want to do something. Who knows when, but I still feel very optimistic, and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future,” she said on Australian radio show The Smallzy Show.

The last time all five members performed together publicly was at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, while the group also gave a surprise performance of ‘Stop’ at Posh’s 50th birthday party in 2024.

The group have previously embarked on a reunion tour in 2019 – however that line-up did not include Beckham.

There have been numerous instances of the group building up hopes of a reunion, as well as many times where they have put a dampener on the prospect.

Last year, for example, Mel C said she was “optimistic” that the iconic girl group would reunite while promoting her ninth studio album ‘Sweat‘, and Victoria Beckham also suggested her “tempting” desire to do a Spice Girls stadium tour after attending Oasis’ mighty comeback tour with husband David.

Last spring, Halliwell-Horner also teased that “there will be something” with Beckham in the fold in the future. “My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one,” she said, also revealing that all five members shared a group chat.

While nothing has been confirmed of a comeback yet, there was something done to celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary milestone earlier this month, when The Royal Mint launched an official commemorative coin in honour of the group.
