SINGER Mel B of former British girl group Spice Girls says ex-bandmate Victoria may join them for a mystery project.
Mel B, 47, added they will be announcing something exciting soon, but she did not go into detail, reported the Daily Mail.
What she did reveal, was that “all five girls” – Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell included – will, after more than a decade, unite professionally.
The band last performed in 2019, during a UK stadium tour. But Beckham, 49, did not take part as she was busy with her fashion brand.
Mel B said they will be releasing a press statement soon about their new venture, which they are “perfecting”.
While she mentions that fans are “really going to love” it, she did not elaborate further on the project.
In an interview with The Sun, she said: “My theory is that if I say it enough, it will happen. But actually we are planning on releasing a statement.
“What that is, I can't say right now because we're just finishing off perfecting what we're going to be doing together, all five of us, but it's going to be something that the fans are really going to love.”
On how the band persuaded Beckham to re-join, Mel B said that convincing her was not an issue as they have “kind of always been in contact”.
She added: “It's not like none of us are speaking together, we've all got a group WhatsApp, but it's just about timing.
"She was really busy doing her fashion line and supporting David with his moves and his career and obviously she's got a bunch of kids so it's just about finding the right time and we've managed to do that so there should be an announcement pretty soon.”
Mel B's disclosure comes after Beckham was said last year to “be up for” re-join her bandmates to headline at music festival Glastonbury.
Bunton speaking on Keith Lemon's podcast Back Then When, addressed the rumours around the Spice Girls’ return at Glastonbury.
She said: 'I hope so! Can I be real? No one's asked us! I read it as well this week saying, "Oh, we've asked them. We're quite far down". All of us have been on the phone like… no one's asked us!'
Bunton said she “doesn't know” where the rumour came from but is “hoping” it is true and someone will be in contact soon.
She added: “I don’t know! I think it would be fab. And I have spoken to Victoria about it too. And I think she'd be up for Glasto.” – The Vibes, May 26, 2023
