Spice Girls reunion likely as Mel C says yes

Simon Crerar

Depending on musical taste it's news that will have you pulling on your Girl Power vest or running for the hills.

Scouse singer Mel C has finally succumbed to pressure from her bandmates and said yes to a Spice Girls reunion.

Whiston-born Sporty Spice was the only member of the phenomenally successful girl band resistant to a comeback.

But after years of refusal, she has at last agreed to perform with her ex-bandmates again as a "final goodbye" to fans.

She told radio station BBC London 94.9: "For the first time ever, there is some truth in the rumours. We've been discussing it and it could possibly happen.

"I've always said, 'I don't want to do it, the past is the past. It was amazing, it was magical. We could never recreate it.'

"But this year people have been talking about it and some of the girls have expressed an interest in doing it.

"There is just so much great feeling out there and I just thought, you know what, I don't want to be the person that stops it happening or stops it being a five-piece."

Ex-bandmates Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham have all agreed to a reunion.

But Mel C insisted the group will not follow the example of Take That and get back together for good.

The band are said to be planning six live shows around the world with gigs in London, Tokyo and Las Vegas, to support their Greatest Hits album due out at the end of the year and are likely to begin rehearsing for the shows after Baby Spice Emma Bunton gives birth to her first baby later this summer.

Are you looking forward to a Spice Girls reunion? Or was the first time more than enough?

I am so excited about the reunion! I never got to go to a spice girls concert when i was younger even though I was a huge fan! This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me! It's like revisiting that time in your life! I hope hope hope I can get tickets! I love Victoria Beckham and can't wait to see her!!!

Have to see them before I die. This is pretty much the opportunity of a lifetime.

This will definitely be the concert of the year for me! I am just VERY concerned about being able to get tickets! I never missed a tour and was a member of the fan club. I think ex-fan club members should be offered tickets first coz we never got to say a final goodbye when they went their separate ways... I CAN'T WAIT....

I'm trilled! i never got the chance to see them when they first came out, and have seen some of them solo - since, and to get the chance now to see them as a band is brilliant!

i'm worried that they will (as Emma says in the movie) still "doing this when i'm, 30!" and looking terrible, old and passed it. Victoria says that she is a mother of 3 and doesn't want to be jumping around the stage (not that she did much jumping). I'm dubious about recreating the "spice" that had in the 90s. can they pull it off?

Martyn, Manchester, England

It sounds amazing they could come back all together on stage!!! We deserve it, they deserve it...the wolrd deserves it!
They're one of the best British groups EVER ! ! !

Rafael Bravo, BRAZIL,

It'll be great to see them together one last time. It was a shame when everything fizzled out and a Greatest Hits album is a good excuse for an encore

Andy Ebdon, Doncaster,
